Generations of Textile Expertise Since 1480

Over 500 Years of Textile Heritage

At Love Tablecloths, our story begins over 500 years ago in Lancashire, England. Since 1480, generations of the Hargreaves family have been involved in weaving, spinning, and textile manufacturing — building one of the region’s longest continuous traditions in cloth production.

Records show Christopher and Jennet Hargreaves working as handloom weavers near Accrington in the late 15th century. From small cottages to major mills, our family has grown alongside Britain’s textile industry.


The Birth of Modern Manufacturing

Our heritage includes James Hargreaves, inventor of the Spinning Jenny — a breakthrough that helped launch the Industrial Revolution. His innovation transformed textile production and laid the foundations for modern manufacturing.

This spirit of innovation continues today in everything we produce.


Moscow Mill & Oswaldtwistle Mills

Later generations established large-scale spinning and weaving operations at Moscow Mill in Oswaldtwistle. By the 19th century, the mill employed hundreds of skilled workers and operated thousands of looms and spindles.

Textile production continued on the site for over 170 years. When traditional manufacturing declined, the mills were transformed into Oswaldtwistle Mills — preserving Lancashire’s textile legacy.

Today, Love Tablecloths proudly carries this heritage forward. We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern materials, precision cutting, and advanced sewing techniques.
