Our Story

Here at byLaxtons, whilst we may have been spinning yarn for over 100 years, this is no fabricated story.

This is four generations of a family run business, internationally renowned for creating premium quality worsted and fancy yarns in the heartland of British manufacturing.

Founded with a knowledge of fibre, entrepreneurial spirit, and creative thinking, we have weathered social, economic, and environmental changes over the decades, whilst upholding our dedication to be the best at what we do.
