Founded in 2020 after its owners’ search for a way back into America’s textile supply chain, Tuscarora Mills weaves natural-fiber fabric in Pennsylvania for makers, designers and manufacturers. The Bedford-based company works with regenerative fibers such as hemp, flax and organic cotton, often using vintage looms, and also produces American-made heirloom blankets on vintage Crompton-Knowles shuttle looms. Its fabrics are made without plastics, toxic chemicals or synthetic treatments, reflecting a focus on biodegradable materials and rebuilding domestic textile production.

American Blossom LinensFamily-owned Thomaston Mills has been making bedding in Thomaston, Georgia, since 1899, with the Zaslow family carrying that textile tradition forward after acquiring the mill in 2001. American Blossom Linens grew from that legacy, keeping its production in the United States and drawing on the experience of craftsmen who have worked there for generations. The company is best known for its American-made percale sheets, produced from U.S.-grown cotton with a deliberately straightforward, durable construction.THOMASTON, GA
PA Flax ProjectFounded in 2020 by a Philadelphia textile entrepreneur and a Pennsylvania farmer, PA Flax Project is a worker-owned cooperative rebuilding the regional fiber-flax supply chain from field to spinnable fiber. The cooperative works with farmers, develops plans for a Pennsylvania scutching mill, and brings flax-based materials to market while using education and community projects to reconnect the region with its flax-to-linen history. Its planned mill is intended to process 3,000–5,000 acres of flax straw annually.PHILADELPHIA, PA
