Fabrics woven in the mill at Quarry Bank and local artisan collections

Quarry Bank fabrics

Woven right here in the mill on the heritage looms, our Quarry Bank fabrics are 100% cotton, and printed locally in a variety of colourful stripes, plains and prints. The 18th century inspired toile design for example, features scenes from Quarry Bank and makes a beautiful souvenir. All fabrics are available in upholstery and dressmaking weights. ‘Bobbin’ to the mill shop and take a look!

Artisan maker Picking Stick Cloth and her loom 'Hattie'

Artisan collections

The mill shop also stocks a range of hand-crafted products made by local artisans. Shop from collections of ceramics, furniture throws, shawls, gins and jewellery all hand-crafted by local makers. Picking Stick Cloth weaves beautiful hand-woven wraps on her heritage loom 'Hattie'. Using Quarry Bank cotton, each piece takes a week to make and is completely unique. Claire Gorton's stunning porcelain jewellery, tableware and decorative gifts are also produced locally, using traditional methods in an old cow shed on the family farm in Cheshire. And we're proud to welcome Turncoat Gin and designer Stephanie Cole's unique jewellery to our offer too!
