Our Story Comforting People We are in the business of comforting people. Our blankets are as soft and comfortable as they are timeless. My family started the textile mill thirty years ago selling to small gift stores, art galleries and col- lege bookstores, as well as catering to unique clients such as the White House, IBM and Paramount Pictures who appreciate our dedication to high quality craftsmanship. Then one day, we received the call. It was a call from a woman that needed one of our photo blankets overnight, back then, weaving a cus- tom blanket took almost 2 weeks. The young woman told us that her father had passed suddenly and that their dog refused to eat and her mother had become despondent. She felt the blanket may help save a life. Who were we to refuse? 8 Miles of Cotton Rich Colors We rushed the blanket through the mill and it was delivered to the family the next day. What a life changing event for a bunch of weavers that knew nothing about the funeral industry and we have never been the same since.The young woman gave the blanket to her mom on the couch. Immedi- ately the dog jumped onto the couch and put his head on the blanket and soon after went into the kitchen to eat. The mom wrapped herself in the blanket, and began to weep softly. Her husband had passed suddenly and she did not get a chance to hug him goodbye. She now sleeps with the blanket every night, as she had with her husband her whole adult life. She had finally received her hug. Woven Our Family Mill my lding o h e e. hil ke w in my lif a w had om’s ents my m cult mom ral home alf of r o diffi he fune ottom h of my me f b al ho e most r .
