About
Discover the spellbinding story of the Welsh woollen industry
Wool was historically the most important and widespread of Wales's industries. The picturesque village of Dre-fach Felindre in the beautiful Teifi valley was once the centre of a thriving woollen industry, earning the nickname 'The Huddersfield of Wales'.
The National Wool Museum is housed in the historic former Cambrian Mills which made shirts and shawls, blankets and bedcovers, woollen stockings and socks sold throughout the world.
On your visit to the museum which holds the National Textile Collection, you can follow the process from Fleece to Fabric and visit the sympathetically restored listed mill buildings.
A raised walkway in our newly re-opened Weaving Shed gives a unique view of textiles in production, while the Textile Gallery displays aspects of the National Flat Textile Collection.
