Trefriw Woollen Mills Ltd

Lovely open plan shop with friendly staff 👌
Lots of choices and very reasonably priced.
The car park was tight and tricky, so if not confident, then park across the road.

Absolutely love this weaving mill and shop! I visited 30 years ago and saw the whole weaving operation, and was ecstatic when I finally got back to the UK this summer- and was able to visit Trefriw Woolen Mill again.
Wonderful that the weaving looms and water powered electric generator are still running- Green energy for over 150 years- and you can see your Welsh blankets being woven, so interesting, educational and fun!
We bought another blanket in a different pattern of their vast selection of designs. And amazing to see their display of blankets from almost 100 years ago! Cool!
A Must Go trip for kids and all adults to see the textile industry in action, as well as historic green energy in the water turbine!

The answer to the question of where to go to find traditional woven goods in Wales. The site, itself, is beautiful, offering tours through the workshops. The workshops features everything from modern to wonderfully preserved and maintained classic looms and tools of the trade. I found it interesting. My mum, who is a weaver, herself, was absolutely absorbed by the processes.

The shop offers up many products, which are made on site, as well as items made from local textiles, crafters, and artisans. You can also buy the usual sort of tourist-tat here but, really, it's the traditional craft that deserves the attention.

Wonderful place with lots of fascinating history. Still make wonderful woven good in ancient machinery which you can watch in action! Their own (very old) hydro electric generation still powered all their machines, and is also fascinating to see!

Amazing place to visit, something for everyone here! Engineering, History, local gifts, Amazing Welsh tapestry, throws, place mats clothing etc. The quality is absolutely outstanding, and will last generations. The staff are very welcoming, child friendly and helpful. Always a pleasure visiting this wonderful working Mill/shop.

We decided to pop in as the last part of our "Tour North Wales With American Mother" trip. Totally a great stop if you're interested in really nice textile and knitted products. The fact that it is a fully functional, water powered mill, where raw wool works it's way to amazing woven products is fascinating. The people working there were super friendly. We didn't have any snacks as it was late in the day, but we did go up and watch a mill in operation. That was amazing. You can feel the power of the machine in the floor and see the intricate mechanical parts working together to create beautiful textiles. Proper true craftsman working these machines. I got a great sweater for a great price. Remember people, though products for sale may seem expensive, things with the Trefriw label are very unique and handmade. I'd say totally worth it. Would definitely pop in again.

Very friendly staff and lots of localy made wool products. We were a little late, but still got a quick walk around the machinery.

This was a very interesting visit. We were there when the mill was working, so we went upstairs and were able to watch them operating the spinners and twisters. It had a wonderfully woolly smell and so many interesting things to look at.

Amazing Welsh blankets!!! Wide range of top quality products on offer.The lady on the sales counter was very helpful and the customer service was exceptional!Diolch yn fawr/many thanks.

Fascinating, free self guided tour. Really interesting to see the process, and the shop has beautiful products. Everyone was very friendly and helpful!

A surprise! Popped in as thought the displays looked interesting. Ended up buying a lovely little pot and also some local shortbread to take home as gifts (it had been difficult to find local food products!) Interesting to see behind the scenes and the staff were really friendly.

An amazing place. Was simply facinsting to watch these beautiful blankets are made

A great visit, very informative and really friendly staff! Great shop, really beautiful things to buy!

Both my husband and I were fascinated by the woollen mill. We actually missed the beginning of the tour and jumped straight in. It was amazing to see the machinery working turning the wool into yarn and then woven into the fabric. It was awesome to see the weaver using the loom to produce the intricate fabric. Finally through the cafe into the shop where there are a large range of clothes and woven items. The fabric is expensive £65 meter but there's other things less expensive to buy. A GREAT place for crafters and those who enjoy watching machinery work. I don't think it's suitable for young children as the place can be noisy.

Loved it! Extremely friendly staff. Walking through the area where all the products are made is fascinating-particularly if you wear wool and can appreciate how much work goes into the process. Great product selection too.

Lots to buy - over 2 weeks staying in the village we bought maps, biscuits, soap, jumpers, waterproof hat, and finally ...a woven cushion cover with the Welsh design

Whay a great stop off. Looms were nothing operation on our visit but went into the room to see them. Informative video. Lovely staff very helpful

Very nice shop with very nice things to buy. You can find everything from books and blankets to jewelery and soaps. Well worth a visit!

I’ve just received a beautiful blanket from Trefriw as a wedding gift from my sister. The craftsmanship is amazing and the quality is second to none. Highly recommend if you’re after a piece that will last for generations. I look forward to cosying up with it this winter.

We wanted to show our daughter the mill workings but were initially disappointed that the weaver wasnt usually there on Mondays. However he arrived and showed us all the process. You could see from the raw wool to the finished products. Also the magnificent water driven turbines. Thank you all xx
The shop has a wide range of lovely things including products made at the mill. Seeing the work and process to make them makes you realise they are a bargain.
