John Boyd Textiles

First established in Castle Cary in 1837, John Boyd Textiles is proud to maintain the tradition of horsehair weaving. The fabrics are woven with the finest and best quality tail hair from live horses and cotton or silk warps using the original looms and techniques from 1870. Our horsehair fabrics are highly regarded for their quality, lustre and natural fire resistance properties as well as acoustic properties and are ideally suited to most forms of contract use such as upholstery, wallcoverings, lampshades and acoustic panels. Many new designs and colours have been added to the collection in recent years.
