Mourne Textiles – Fibre to Fabric

05/06/2023

Our friends at Mourne Textiles have just announced their latest Crowdfunding project. This is an important initiative that could bring the UK a step closer to creating homegrown, homespun linen.

Details can be found on their crowdfunding page, and see below some more words from them.

Join us in celebrating our heritage and shaping a brighter future through the power of textiles, “Fibre to Fabric”.

‘Our mission is to restore vintage flax processing and spinning equipment, to create a sustainable circular supply chain for natural fabrics produced right here on the Island of Ireland! We are proud to work alongside local Flax farmers, Mallon Linen to achieve this goal and with your support, we can restore the spinning equipment to complete the supply chain.’

‘We believe in a green and sustainable future, where innovation meets tradition and tradition informs innovation.’
