John Boyd Textiles
Fabrics
Exquisite woven horse hair fabrics
First established in Castle Cary in 1837, John Boyd's horsehair fabrics are woven with the finest and best quality tail hair from live horses and cotton or silk warps using the original looms and techniques from 1870.
Horsehair fabric was originally used by famous furniture designers such as Chippendale, Hepplewhite, Lutyens, and Rennie Mackintosh, and are ideally suited to most forms of upholstered furniture; antique, classical, and contemporary.
John Boyd Textiles is now one of the last companies in the world still weaving haircloth.
