About us

We started weaving in Pepperell, Massachusetts in 1917, originally as a shoe-lace factory. The same workshop today turns out the cord, wicking, beads, and DIY kits people turn into "I made this". Real manufacturing heritage with a modern, friendly feel. Read the full story →

"Have had one EXACTLY like this for over 30 years that was used for writing down grocery shopping lists that everybody in the house could add to. Somehow, it got left in the shopping cart so I had to go find another one. THANK YOU. it's perfect. now I've got one to use & one to lose."

"These are super colorful and easy to work with! They fit perfect on my loom and everybody likes the bright potholder coasters! I use them as coasters because they are nylon! Also make cute purses when sewn together"

Can I dye this at home?

Nylon takes acid dyes well. We have a dye guide on our blog.
