U.S.A. Woven Bedspreads and Throws
posted in Matelasse Throws |The Bates Mill Store carries the finest U.S.A. woven bedspreads and throws available.
American woven Jacquard throws and bedspreads are becoming more and more difficult to find in view of the fact most throws are now woven in manufacturing facilities located in Portugal, China, Italy and other far away countries. One exception is bedding woven by a Maine, USA, based company, Maine Heritage Weavers.
This small textile company was started by several Maine craftsmen and women, former employees of Bates Fabrics (and Bates of Maine), the world renown manufacturer of Bates style throws, shams, coverlets and bedspreads in both terry-loop (candlewick) and trapunto (matelasse) construction. Maine Heritage Weavers operates out of the same buildings that housed the Bates operation located along the Androscoggin River in Lewiston, Maine many years ago.
These 100% cotton decorative vintage throws are available in a variety of colors and colonial designs, such as Martha Washington's Choice and Heritage. To order free fabric swatches of their popular candlewick and matelasse bedding call 1-800-552-2837.
