Linen 2/15 - Weaving yarn - Merlin - Fonty

Fonty, "la Filature de Rougnat" is one of the last spinning and dyeing factories still in operation in France and is recognized for its traditional, rare and precious know-how. Created in 1880 on the banks of the Cher, a few kilometers from its source in the heart of the Combrailles in Creuse, a traditional land of breeding and textile industry, the Filature Fonty is one of the treasures of local heritage. This more than one hundred year old factory perpetuates an exceptional know-how, transmitted from generation to generation. It is made up of original processes, specialized skills, accumulated experience, and gestures refined over the years, associated with a fleet of traditional machines that the team maintains, renovates, and progressively completes, and which testify to the historical place of the regional textile industry.
Filature Fonty is an active member of the Lainamac association, which aims to promote and develop the wool industry in the Massif Central.
