Harrisville Designs has been spinning 100% Virgin Wool Yarn in Harrisville, New Hampshire for over 50 years. As one of a handful of woolen mills left in this country, Harrisville's textile tradition is rich and dates back to 1794 when the first of several mills was built across the Nubanusit River to harness the water-power necessary for carding fleeces brought down to the village from local hilltop farms. The Harris family built many of the original mill buildings and houses for their family and workers. In the mid-1800's, the Colony family bought out the Harris holdings and created Cheshire Mills. Harrisville Designs is still owned and operated by John and Patricia Colony. They have been joined by two of their three sons, who are interested in carrying on the textile tradition that's been part of their family for generations.
