Our Services

Unique fabrics for traditional and contemporary textile design

All our fabrics are woven to order and fully customisable but fall largely into two broad categories, ‘Stocked Yarn Service’ and ‘Custom Yarn Service’. Both categories utilise our teams’ skills and knowledge of Research & Consultancy, Design, Weave Construction, Colour, Sampling and Production.

Over the 5 decades that Humphries Weaving has been designing and weaving fabric in East Anglia we have become well known for weaving ‘short and special’ orders. Special often falls into the category of a nationally important historic restorations with special yarn weights or custom dyed colour but it can also be a snippet of fabric, kept by someone in an envelope for years; just waiting for an opportunity to reproduce it.

Colour

Choosing the correct colour is a key element of the design process, whether for historical accuracy or as a more personal and emotive decision.
