Welcome
Tunbridge Woolworks’ goal is to provide expert services with a gentle environmental footprint. To this end, our wood-burning furnace is the heat source for the hot water, fiber drying, and for the building itself. Electricity is generated by net-metering, using twenty solar panels.
Your fiber and wool is perfect for use in all seasons and climates. Wool is a natural insulator against cold and heat. It retains body temperature close to the body while wicking away moisture, as air gently circulates in and out of the wool batting. Wool is naturally flame-resistant and once washed and dried it retards the growth of mold and mildew. Remember, wool is washable (sheep get rained on, too). The loft — airiness — is rejuvenated when finished wool items are put out in the sun and fresh air.
Our affordable services provide you with:
- Your washed fiber ready for you to spin, weave, knit or Macramé, or felt it into rugs, window quilts, or artistic wall hangings — or cut and sew the felt into purses, vests, and slippers or mittens.
- Your carded fiber ready to be sewn into fabulous comforters, or quilted into mattress pads. With our experienced Patrick Greene carder and picker, we card fiber up to 6″ long, only when washed here. “Patrick” produces batts 72″ long and 18″ wide.
- Your picked fiber ready to be made into healthful bed pillows (make them soft or firm as you like), throw-pillows, or fabulous & unique pet beds (you might even add cedar chips).
