Eaton Hill Textile Works is a small textile mill in central Vermont that preserves age old textile techniques and honors superior craftsmanship in the reproduction of 18th and 19th century historic fabrics.

Using 200 year old New England made hand looms, each piece of fabric is custom dyed and woven to the client's unique specification.  The natural dyes of the 18th and 19th century are used whenever possible to duplicate the rich, subtle shades that made historic fabrics so remarkable.

Fabrics shown on the sample cards are just some of the many colors, patterns and designs that can be woven at Eaton Hill.  We can also make fabrics into bed blankets, duvet covers, pillow cases, curtains and table linens at your request.
