Bates Mill Store woven throws are wonderful anniversary gifts.  Elegant vintage cotton throws, including [tag]Martha's Choice[/tag], Queen Elizabeth, Cape Cod and Heritage designs, are woven at Maine Heritage Weavers on Jacquard Looms similar to looms used by the legendary Bates Fabrics.

Queen Elizabeth is an authentic reproduction of an original handwoven masterpiece dating back to the first Elizabethan Era before becoming popular in Colonial America. Elegant center medallion and flowers woven in an intricate "puffed" pattern give grace and clarity to this classic design.  It is woven in solid white and antique colors and two-tone colors include:  linen/antique, sage/antique, french blue/antique, quartz/antique and wedgewood blue/white.

Heritage features a repeat pattern of circle and leaf design.  Heritage is also available in coverlet sizes with pom-pom fringe and bedspread sizes with string fringe. 

Matelasse and candlewick throws are machine washable, will not shrink nor fade because of the quality yarn and dyes used in the manufacturing process.

Other matelasse designs are available as well as candlewick/chenille throws, bedspreads and coverlets and are manufactured at Maine heritage weavers which is located in Lewiston, Maine, in one of the former Bates Mill buildings.

Bates Mill Store Bedspreads

Posted by: sam0921 | Comments (0)

The Bates Mill Store opened in the 1950’s by Bates Manufacturing to provide an outlet for second quality bedspreads and to offer employees bedspreads at a discount. The Bates Mill Store has been selling factory direct Bates Mill Store bedspreads for over 50 years in both matelasse and candlewick/chenille.

Boston Industrialist Benjamin Bates formed Bates Manufacturing, a textile mill in Lewiston, Maine, in 1850. The company, in various forms and under various owners, would continue to do business for almost 150 years, developing a national reputation for its elegant bedspreads and other stylish fabrics.

Although the textile industry in America has changed over the years, we continue to be the factory direct supplier of Bates style and quality bedspreads. These bedspreads are woven by the last generation of Bates employees, who are now the first generation of employees of Maine Heritage Weavers.

Bates Mill Store Bedspreads

Posted by: sam0921 | Comments (0)
Bates Mill Store Bedspreads:  During the early part of the decade of the 1850's workers completed the first of the several Bates Mill buildings in Lewiston, Maine.  Constructed along the Androscoggin River to the West and a series of canals to the East that supplied power to the mills as water cascaded through turbines back to the river, thousands of Maine craftsmen and women worked around the clock to provide the now famous lines of Bates Bedspreads to customers from all over the World.

Maine Heritage Weavers, Inc., has been in business for five years.  Staffed by former Bates employees and conducting business out of one of the former Bates Mills, [tag]Maine Heritage Weavers[/tag] manufactures even higher quality bedspreads on looms similiar to those used for nearly a century and a half by Bates Manufacturing Company.
These high quality matelasse and terry cotton bedspreads are produced from the highest quality yarn available on the now famous Jacquard looms.  Styles and colors vary depending on the taste of the customer.  Bedspreads with historical significance, or those designed for specific seasons, customers, or locations such as the "Tuscany", or the "Clamshell", are available in all sizes.
The Bates Mill Store has been the factory direct Bates-style bedding store for over 50 years.  Employees of Maine Heritage Weavers and the [tag]Bates Mill Store[/tag] look forward to providing customers with its product line.  They affectionately describe their bedspreads as "loomed to be heirloomed".  Just ask your grandmother, she'll recognize the Bates style bedspreads.
