National Wool Museum

Classification Museum

DescriptionWool was historically the most important and widespread of Wales's industries. The picturesque village of Dre-fach Felindre in the beautiful Teifi valley was once the centre of a thriving woollen industry, earning the nickname 'The Huddersfield of Wales'. Shirts and shawls, blankets and bedcovers, woollen stockings and socks were all made here, and sold in the surrounding countryside — and to the rest of the world. Located in the historic former Cambrian Mills, the Museum is a special place with a spellbinding story to tell.
