USA made hobnail bedspreads are made in Lewiston, Maine at Maine Heritage Weavers. Most candlewick and hobnail bedspreads are made in other countries.  Martha's Choice, our most popular candlewick design, is also available in white, antique, blue/white, sage/white and charcoal/white.

The employees at Maine Heritage Weavers are mostly former employees of the legendary Bates Fabrics who still weave the high quality Bates-style [tag]bedspreads[/tag].  Martha Washington's Choice (a chenille-type/candlewick bedspread) is the most popular design woven at this Maine textile company.  Also remembered as George Washington's Choice bedspreads, Martha Washington's Choice is a Candlewick terry, although many people refer to it as chenille, which is the same cloth as candlewick or terry loop but the "loop" is cut. 

In addition to bedspread sizes, Martha Washington's Choice is available in coverlet sizes, standard pillow shams, king size shams and throws.  This one hundred percent high grade cotton [tag]bedspread[/tag] is preshrunk and machine washable.  In addition, fade-resistant dyes are used to avoid fading.  It makes a wonderful gift that is sure to last for years.

Jacquard USA Woven Bedspreads

Posted by: sam0921 | Comments (0)

Jacquard USA woven bedspreads are still being woven in former Bates Mill Buildings in Lewiston, Maine.

The Jacquard loom was invented by Joseph M. Jacquard in 1804. The Jacquard loom automatically controls the warp and weft threads on a loom by recording patterns of holes in a string of cards. Warp is the lengthwise threads as the cloth is woven, and weft is the crosswise threads as woven.

Maine Heritage Weavers manufactures chenille-type ([tag]candlewick[/tag]) and matelasse ([tag]trapunto[/tag]) coverlets, bedspreads, pillow shams, and throws on dobby and Jacquard looms. These looms are similar to those used by Bates Fabrics, which was famous for the quality of their bedspreads.

Former Bates employees continue the tradition of weaving America's favorite bedspreads and coverlets as taught to them by their parents and grandparents. They are now the first generation of weavers at Maine Heritage Weavers. The products woven at Maine Heritage Weavers are 100 percent cotton.
