What We Do

For more than 20 years, Thistle Hill Weavers, the Studio of Rabbit Goody, has been weaving luxurious custom fabrics, carpet, and trim for designers, home owners, museums, and the film industry.

We specialize in creating accurate historic reproductions, working from surviving examples, documented patterns, and period weavers' drafts.  Our work covers a wide range of periods: we've recreated early medieval textiles for Beowulf and woven custom fabric for modern high-end handbags.

Our ability to produce short runs of entirely custom fabric, carpet, and trims sets us apart from other textile manufacturers.  (18 yards is our minimum custom order.)  Our cloth is distinguished by the historic finishes we use which produce an authentic period look unmatched by commercially manufactured material.

With the trade we do custom projects, special commissions, carpet, draperies, bed hangings, window treatments, trims, and upholstery.  If you are a designer and want to learn more, click here.

With individual homeowners we offer a range of services, from on site consultations and research to custom weaving of carpet and interior furnishing fabrics, design and fabrication of window treatments, bed hangings, blankets and coverlets, slip covers, and trims.  We can help you create a period look in your home, whether you want appropriate carpet for your stairs or textiles for an entire interior.  If you are a home owner and want to learn more, click here.

Our signature interior furnishings include Venetian carpet, Geometric Ingrain carpet, historic dimities, gossamer drapery fabric, worsted camblet, baize, fancy figured worsteds, fancy tapes, and cut silk fringes.

New for 2008: Figured Ingrain carpet.

Our work has been featured in dozens of films.  To learn more, check out At The Movies.
