you have an opportunity to stay in the community where your family is , where you can raise your family with grandparents ,
brown says of what brahms mount is building in maine .
to stay local is an advantage a lot of people don ' t get .
brahms mount weaves textiles with a signature design based on classical elements grounded in tradition . they are familiar , comfortable and full of energy—enveloping the body and naturally flowing with it . transcending short - lived fashion trends , these fabrics complement every décor , making a distinctive impression in every home .
just a lovely blanket ! it is the perfect weight and texture . great for any season , really . cuddly but somewhat structured . also , brahms mount ' s customer service was fantastic - i ordered the wrong color and they made the change instantly and the blanket arrived within 2 days .
kaufman said while many companies try to produce items at a higher rate of speed , he doesn’t mind that brahms mount takes its time to ensure each blanket is specially made . he said it’s important to put time into a piece so that it can last for a lifetime , or longer .
maine ' s textile tradition stretches back to the 1800s , when almost every family spun fine yarn from local flax and wool , as well as from imported cotton . to fulfill rapidly growing demand , mills sprang up along major rivers . maine textiles became world - renowned . generations thrived . building upon the strength of this tradition , claudia brahms and noel mount founded brahms mount more than twenty - five years ago in hallowell , maine . they purchased and renovated buildings constructed in 1866 and built a mill overlooking the kennebec river , just upstream from where merchant ships once docked to trade maine textiles around the globe .
after deciding the life of a jazz guitarist wasn ' t going to sustain him , smith left college and walked into the brahms mount factory with little knowledge of the process .
i knew nothing . i never turned a wrench . i wasn ' t a mechanical kind of guy ,
he says .
i looked and looked to find a good cotton bed blanket and could not find what i was looking for - a rich , well made blanket at a reasonable price . when i found this brahms mount blanket , i was at first reluctant , but kept coming back to it . i was attracted to the usa hand made , rich quality and what appeared to be exactly what i was looking for . it turns out , it is perfect and i am so glad i treated myself to this well made blanket that will serve me for many , many years to come . thank you brahms mount for making such a fine product ! !
according to steve schneider , president of sferra , brahms mount will continue to develop its american - made collection . “our goal is to align the two companies as two distinct brands , and by so doing , we offer both respective retail customer bases more products which will resonate with our shared luxury consumer , ” he said .
this is the best summer blanket in the house . soft , lovely to look at , beautifully woven , and just the right weight for summer . come fall , i will layer it and it will become the best fall blanket in the house . i love brahms mount . the quality ! the craft ! just fabulous stuff .
brahms mount led the change from matching bedspreads , bed - skirts and wallpaper , to layers of beautiful fabrics that cross - merchandise . we called upon the grace , drape and texture of cotton and linen apparel fabrics . we could think of nothing more comfortable than the choice to be swathed in these natural fibers day and night .
in the textile industry it ' s called
the fabric hand .
at brahms mount in maine , it ' s always the hand that ' s immediately drawn to touch the blankets made exquisitely soft through the weaving and washing process . and it ' s what made david kaufman want to buy and grow the company in 2009 .
“we are proud to have made this investment in the thriving manufacturing economy of maine , where quintessential american - made ethos merges with artisanal craftsmanship in brahms mount , ” said sferra president steve schneider . “for sferra , it certainly represents a vertical expansion—giving us new manufacturing capabilities in the u . s . and increasing efficiencies for both companies . ”

so they make compromises and work with what’s available . they source all - natural materials from wherever they need to , but use vintage machines as david kaufman of brahms mount does . they use different manufacturing models , as jeremy litchfield does with the athletic gear he makes from recycled materials at atayne , to cut back on potential for waste .
we think it’s only fitting that what was once a classic maine inn known for its comfortable beds now showcases our classically beautiful , wonderfully comfortable made - in - maine blankets , throws and linen towels . along with the full brahms mount line , you’ll find a well - curated collection of american - made products from brands we know and love .

the production of textiles continued to be an important part of the us economy into the 1980s . in 1965 , 95 % of all american apparel and bedding was produced by textile companies in america . by 1995 , american manufactured textiles accounted for less than 2 percent . with the rise of globalization and low - cost imports , more and more textile factories have moved to foreign countries . today , there are very few american textile mills . brahms mount is proud to be one of them . we continue to weave our blankets , throws , and towels here in maine , on shuttle looms from the 1940’s . many of our materials come from america , as well – our cotton is grown , spun , and dyed in the usa . we’re thrilled to continue the tradition of american produced textiles . by brahms mount

but these temperamental old looms are the heart of the brahms mount business . the clanking racket of the machinery helps set the brand apart from blankets manufactured abroad . yes , it ' s cheaper and faster to manufacture textiles on the digital rapier looms commonly used in china . those looms are at minimum three times faster than these decades - old behemoths . but the end result is a dramatically different product .
in the five years since kaufman took over , brahms mount has grown from five employees to 37 and the brand now is featured in upscale home interiors stores as well beloved on pinterest . the company also moved from the hallowell mill to one in monmouth to improve production time . the move included shifting eight shuttle looms that date back to the 1940s , six of which currently operate , to the new location .
i purchased the heather fair isle throw because of the beautiful stitched design . the throw is generous in size and the wool is extremely soft . i have purchased many throws and blankets from brahms . . .
“our intention is to allow brahms mount to continue to flourish and develop their american - made collection in keeping with the same standards of excellence they have established over the course of their 32 - year history , ” schneider said . “our goal is to align the two companies as two distinct brands , and by so doing , we offer both respective retail customer bases more products which will resonate with our shared luxury consumer . ”

now he must teach others those same skills if brahms mount is going to keep up with its accelerated growth . that ' s not always easy because of what smith considers a new american culture of instant gratification .
it ' s harder to find people who are willing to work their way up ,
smith says .
it ' s hard to build a crew that ' s willing to do all that learning .
a few years back , we came up to visit friend in january . a trip hallowell led us to the wrong entrance were we received an impromtu tour of the inner workings of brahms mount and watched as skilled craftladies hand twisted throws and explained the use of linen as toweling . a marvelous memory . our friends purchased a baby blanket to give to their sponsor on their visit to china . we went broke saving money in the store up front . happy that you are thriving .
kaufman is the first to admit he ' s no expert at textile design .
but i like to think i have a good eye ,
he says laughingly . he also has the touch . when he first felt a brahms mount blanket , he immediately knew he needed to be a part of the company ' s story . aware of his inexperience in textile manufacturing , kaufman thought to himself ,
don ' t screw it up . that ' s my number one mission .
it ' s the process on a whole - - all those hands on the product - - that work together to reveal the beauty . after blankets come off the looms , they ' re sent to daylene couture ' s group of washers and finishers . fibers relax during the washing process and often reveal three - dimensional patters that weren ' t visible off the looms . finishers may add fringe . the final product must come close to what design director jane laug conceives of on her personal loom in her studio at the brahms mount freeport store .
feel - good fibers sustainability is not a new idea at brahms mount . natural fibers and earth - friendly practices were woven into the fabric of our company from day one . every part of our process , from sourcing yarns to manufacturing products , involves making choices with minimal impact . we use colorfast , eco - friendly dyes to achieve our vibrant hues . we follow the safest possible methods to give our whites their characteristic brightness . our natural fibers are just that – pure and undyed , with a clean , untreated finish . feel - good fibers , in every sense .
i adore this blanket ! the quality is wonderful and it serves as a winter layer and summer quilt . we have the blue ticking and it ' s a lovely soft blue shade . this is a blanket i know we will have forever and i look forward to building our brahms collection over the years .
several small blanket makers are keeping the state ' s rich textile tradition alive .
with temperatures dipping into the single digits this past week , lots of mainers were probably thinking about getting better blankets .
swans island blankets’ solid indigo throw sells for $ 495 . the company makes hand - woven products with certified organic fibers and natural dyes .
maine woolens of brunswick makes these oakley plaid blankets . maine woolens’ products are cotton or wool , and are piece - dyed in brunswick .
there’s a rich textile tradition in maine , and several small blanket makers are keeping that tradition alive . they range from makers of organic hand - woven throws and blankets to industrial weavers where blankets are made with mechanized looms run by skilled operators .
either way , if you’re looking for a locally made blanket crafted by your neighbors , you don’t have to look far .
it might be cotton , wool or a a combination of fibers . it might be a large bed blanket , a throw or a baby’s crib blanket .
to help you start your winter warm - up , here’s a brief look at three maine blanket makers .
this company — which makes hand - woven products with certified organic fiber — was started in the early 1990s on swans island , near acadia national park .
john and carolyn grace had been lawyers in boston before starting the company , working with folks who raised sheep locally .
today , the company is based in northport near belfast , but the blankets and other products are still made by hand in a painstaking way . for instance , workers pick blades of grass out of the wool by hand and do all the weaving by hand . only natural dyes are used for colors .
“what i like to tell people is that we’re trying to keep the time - honored methods of hand - weaving on the coast of maine alive , ” said gayle lear , who does sales , bookkeeping and customer service for the small company .
many swans island blankets — sold online and in northport — start at about $ 595 . the company’s “rare wool” blanket is listed at $ 750 , while a “winter wool” blanket starts at $ 1 , 295 .
the folks at maine woolens will tell you right away that what they do is industrial weaving . big machines making sturdy blankets .
“we’re not artisanal blanket makers ; we’re industrial weavers , ” said ray boshold , vice president of sales with maine woolens . “made in the usa is making a strong comeback , and we are part of that , making high - quality blankets . ”
the company started about four years ago by jo miller , whose husband , herb miller , ran a textile business . she wasn’t “quite ready to retire , ” said boshold , so she started maine woolens .
the blankets are cotton or wool , and are piece - dyed at the brunswick factory . boshold says his company’s blankets are “competitively priced , ” though still more than a basic synthetic blanket at walmart .
for instance , the 100 - percent wool bowdoin blanket — with bowdoin college colors — is $ 239 for a queen size or $ 92 for a throw . other similar - sized blankets are in the same price range . but a baby blanket — the baby charisma model , for example — is $ 50 .
“these antique looms are not fast , but they give the blanket a quality of construction , ” he said .
the factory is now housed in a former granite works building in hallowell , but because of the need to expand , the operation is moving to a larger facility in monmouth this year , kaufman said .
a merino wool herringbone blanket starts at $ 383 for a twin . the company’s natural cotton wave blanket — with a delicate , repeated chevron wave pattern — starts at $ 288 for a twin .

i ordered three of these , one for each of my kids ( ages 10 , 12 , 15 ) . i debated for a few weeks over the price , but i didn’t want to buy a hot polyester blanket that they sweat under ( we’ve got a woven . . .
the feel of this throw is so soft with a great lightness but also significant feel to the weave and thickness . it almost feels stretchy . the ombre is gorgeous . highly , highly recommend .
