Harrisville Designs Reviews

"There is a terrific tradition of textiles in our community and in our own culture and we are pleased to reveal that heritage of quality with our customers."
- John & Patricia Colony

Since 1794, Harrisville's water-powered, mill town started its love affair. The village, nestled in the Monadnock Highlands of southwestern New Hampshire, harbors one of only a couple of wool mills still working in the USA.

Harrisville Designs was established in 1971 with a goal of preserving the textile heritage and economic energy that continued the village for almost two centuries. Starting with a lineup of top quality woolen hand weaving yarns, Harrisville branched out to hands weaving looms and gear. In the late 1980's, the Friendly Loom Products line debuted, intended to introduce children to the joys of working with their hands

Harrisville Designs  remains a small, family-owned and operated business, overseen by creators John and Patricia Colony as well as two of the three sons, Timothy and Nicholas.
