A Family Run Business Since 1960
Lightowlers Yarns celebrated 50 years in the woollen yarn spinning business in 2010.
The business was established in 1960 by brothers Frederick William (Teddy) Lightowlers and Richard Morley Lightowlers in premises built for the purpose dating from 1866 at Brigg House Mills in Meltham, a village 5 miles from the centre of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, England.
Lightowlers is currently run by second and third generation family members, Peter Lightowlers, Michael Lightowlers and Mark Lightowlers.
The company manufactures both commission and for sale yarns for the apparel, upholstery, blanket and hand knitting trades. Traditional and modern production techniques can be applied.
Customers range from small weavers in Scotland to larger manufacturers in the UK, Ireland and Japan.
"We are traditional in what we do, but are flexible with a strong emphasis placed on quality and service" - Mark Lightowlers (Chairman & Director)
