This year Melin Tregwynt of Castlemorris, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, are celebrating 100 years of weaving.

The family business was founded in May 1912 when Henry Griffiths, the current owner's grandfather, bought Tregwynt Mill for £760. Now a thriving business employing 25 people, Melin Tregwynt were privileged to be invited to meet Prince Charles at his Highgrove home in March and have several events planned to celebrate this milestone year.   

Rowan Tweed: earlier this year Rowan Yarns used the mill as a backdrop for one of their knitwear style books, Rowan Tweed. This book will include a short section on the mill's history and the centenary. The brochure will not be launched until 1st August.
