Upstart

HBF Textiles gives dimension to the lives and spaces of users, designers and communities through the essential qualities of fabric. We reveal the hand of the maker and the intentionality of design in everything we make. Our expertise comes from understanding the inherent qualities of fabric—yarn, dyeing, spinning, structure and weave. When combined with our innovative material sources, we create considered applications that are versatile and beautiful. What we produce is not just textiles, but a larger web of relationships. Weaving textiles together with manufacturing and production, we are part of a two-hundred year old legacy of textile manufacturing within North Carolina. And, with like-minded mills and collaborators––locally and globally––we explore together the myriad of possibilities of what fabric can be.
