Mountmellick Fabric | Heavyweight

Mountmellick Fabric - Heavyweight

The heavier of the two Mountmellick Embroidery Fabrics. Accurate to the original fabric used when Mountmellick embroidery was first pioneered - thought to be within the 1816 - 1825 period. While absolute certainty is difficult, it is often thought that Margaret Beale & Joanna Carter were the creators and pioneers.

We are delighted to have developed the Empress Mountmellick Embroidery Range over a number of years drawing on expert advice and input along every step of the process.
