How your Bronte by Moon throw is made
Abraham Moons: A name synonymous with exquisite textiles, Abraham Moons has been crafting luxurious fabrics since 1837 in Guiseley, Yorkshire.
The Bronte by Moon Process:
Creating a Bronte by Moon throw is a meticulous process that involves several steps:
Raw wool The quality of each and every one of the fabrics starts on the farm, and as such, ensures that all wool from long-standing suppliers are from reputable farmers. Bales of wool are collated in dedicated wool warehouse until they are ready for the first step, which is to prepare and weave into any one of the beautiful fabric designs.
Dye House The raw wool then goes to the Dye House, where it is dyed using precise combinations of dye, pressure, temperature, and time. These combinations are kept a close secret.
Blending The secret to creating beautifully rich colour is in the blend. Up to 7 different coloured wools can be used in the recipe for each yarn to create the finished colour. This is what gives Tweeds, Heathers, and Plaids their uniquely rich texture.
Carding Essential in producing soft, smooth fabrics, blended wool, lubricated with a little water and oil, is run through a series of combed rollers that tease the fibres one way and then the other.
Warping The cones of yarn are wound over a drum (known as a swift or mill), and a warp (lengthwise threads) is made for weaving. This can be a complicated process, depending on the intricacy of the pattern in the finished fabric.
Weaving This is where many different yarns are woven together in intricate weaves to create stunning fabrics. After the fabric is woven, each piece begins a strict quality control process. Every inch of fabric is inspected at three stages in the manufacturing process – when it comes off the loom, after finishing and again before it leaves the factory
Scouring, Milling & Finishing After weaving, the fabric is scoured (washed) using pure water pumped from boreholes 800ft below the mill and then milled and dried.
The final step in the process is finishing. Each length of fabric is carefully pressed using steam and specialised equipment to remove any shrinkage, thus completing the creation of the fabric.
What sets Bronte by Moon throws apart is their exceptional blend of craftsmanship, tradition, and contemporary design. Each throw is a testament to Abraham Moons' dedication to creating luxurious products that are both timeless and functional. Here's why Bronte by Moon throws are so special:
