Woven Bedding at The Bates Mill Store

The Bates Mill Store carries the finest US woven bedding available. Woven vintage Jacquard coverlets and bedspreads made in America 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, however, 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, 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 luxury coverlets are available in a variety of colors and colonial designs, such as Heritage and Abigial Adams Free fabric swatches of their popular candlewick and matelasse bedding are available at www.batesmillstore.com.
