Harrisville Designs: Celebrating 50 Years

You may be familiar with our woolen-spun yarn, handmade floor looms, and award-winning Friendly Loom product line, but do you know the story of how Harrisville Designs came to be?

We invite you to help us celebrate our 50th anniversary by watching and sharing this new, short film about Harrisville Designs.

We want to thank all of our customers, instructors, and students for their dedication and support over the last 50 years. Harrisville Designs would not be what it is today without you. Whether you have shopped with us from the very beginning or you’re new to the Harrisville Designs family, we look forward to bringing you new products, familiar favorites, and top-notch service.

My very first loom was a Harrisville Designs 36" 4S, 6T which I purchased in 1985 and sold about five years later. Over my almost 40 years as a weaver, I've owned, used, and taught weaving on a variety of looms from different manufacturers. The loom I have come back to is Harrisville Designs, and, in my opinion, it is the best and most pleasurable loom I have ever woven on.

just got my grandaughter the pro loom, with a few bags of loops....the loom for her b-day, then the yarn/loops for Christmas. If she doesn't like it, well....I'll take it back! She will be 9 in Nov

I love Harrisville Designs! I have enjoyed your yarns and wool for felting for 20+ years both at home and in my classroom. I have also stayed there while taking a few different classes. Such a great place to visit, take a class and shop. Congrats to 50 years and many more !!!
