This area is world famous for its weaving heritage & expertise, known as the centre of wool textile manufacturing in Britain.
The Heart of Huddersfield range welcomes a new collection with each coming autumn/winter season, and features bespoke one-off fabrics, designed in-house at Fabworks using our depth of knowledge, gained in over 120 years combined working in the UK textiles industry, and passed on through five generations. Utilising established and trusted partnerships with local weavers allows us to incorporate the rich textile heritage of our area, into an annual collection with classic and vibrant palettes given our own twist and employing eco-friendly, sustainable practices throughout.
Our Heart of Huddersfield fabrics are suited to a wide range of dressmaking and soft furnishing projects, and the detailed product specifications give the opportunity to create your own exquisite styles in the highest quality British made woollen cloth, with a nod to British heritage manufacturing and using only natural fibre fabrics.
