US EditionPrincess of Wales Visits Historic Welsh Wool and Denim Makers
The Princess of Wales visited two historic Welsh textile makers, engaging with staff and promoting local craftsmanship at family-run businesses employing over 40 people.
- The Princess of Wales visited Melin Tregwynt and Hiut Denim in west Wales on Tuesday to celebrate British textile heritage and craftsmanship.
- Melin Tregwynt has been operating since at least 1841 and became an employee-owned trust in 2022, while the Princess has visited weaving and textile workshops over the past 12 months.
- On the mill floor she tried weaving and warp-tying with local weavers Sean Jenkins, Lydia Dunn, and Georgina Scorey, then stitched a Wales-made tag into 245 organic Hack jeans at Hiut Denim.
- Melin Tregwynt managers welcomed the attention from the royal visit, with James Lamb calling it a "huge privilege" and the Princess receiving a king-sized Vintage Star blanket.
- The visits underscore the revival of local manufacturing and intergenerational skill transmission, as Cardigan's factory closed in 2002 but Hiut Denim revived production in 2011, preserving family business traditions.
