Who we are
A small mill that answers the phone
We started in 2009 with four rebuilt rapier looms and a single customer — a furniture workroom two hours south of us that could not get a straight answer on lead times. That is still the business we are in: telling customers exactly what we can weave, when it will ship, and what it will cost.
Today the mill runs 22 looms across two halls, a warping and beaming department, a finishing line and an inspection room. Everything is under one roof at 607 Canal Street, which means the person who quotes your fabric can walk twenty steps and look at it on the loom.
- Owner-operated by Joseph Rodriguez — no sales layers between you and the mill floor
- Domestic warping, weaving, finishing and inspection in Helena, Montana
- Sample yardage in 7–10 business days, production in 3–5 weeks
- Written specification sheet and shade card with every order

Why buyers stay
The boring things, done properly
Specification first
Every quote lists yarn count, sett, weight, width, shrinkage and finish before you commit a dollar.
Lead times we hold
Production is booked against real loom hours, not optimism. If a date slips, you hear it from us first.
Inspected, all of it
100% of finished yardage passes a lighted inspection frame and the four-point system before it ships.
Freight that fits
Roll goods, cut pieces or palletized LTL from Helena, with tracking emailed the day it leaves.
Quality
Four-point inspection, shade cards, and a signed spec sheet
Fabric fails in predictable ways: shade drift between dye lots, weft bars, slack selvedges, shrinkage nobody tested. We test for those before you find them in your cutting room.
- Four-point inspection on 100% of finished yardage
- Wet and dry crocking, dimensional stability and seam slippage on request
- Wyzenbeek abrasion and lightfastness through an accredited third-party lab
- Retained cuttings from every dye lot for three years

“They quoted a 14 oz cotton twill on a Tuesday and had a hand sample on my bench Friday. Six years later I still buy every yard of our seating fabric from Helena.”
“What matters to us is shade consistency across reorders. Their retained cuttings and dye-lot records have saved two hotel installs from being re-cut.”
“Small enough to take a 200-yard order seriously, organised enough to run our 9,000-yard uniform program. Rare combination.”
