Our festive opening hours:

After a wonderfully hectic 2025, we will be closing for a little break over Christmas and New Year.

We’ll be closed from Tuesday 23th December to Friday 2nd January.

Any orders received during that time will be processed when we reopen in the new year.

Now, let’s get back to sewing (you) and posting your fabric (us)!

1 - The change in weather always means more brushed cotton on the cutting table, including this black and red buffalo check destined for PJ bottoms.

3 - Admiring the hand printed selvedge on our organic cotton tea towel fabric.

6 - The last of the green beech leaves hanging on before turning copper for winter.

7 - If you order stripes, checks or dots from us, know that we will enjoy cutting your fabric just a little bit more than if it were plain! We do love those guide lines 😊

We’re in a pretty unique position at The Organic Textile Company. Not only do we run a small business ourselves, we also work with and supply a whole community of wonderful other small businesses throughout the UK and beyond.

Being chosen as a  for 2025 has felt like the perfect moment to celebrate that community.  We’re delighted to have been selected and thought it would be fun to introduce you to some of the inspiring makers, designers, and educators who shop with us.

So many of our customers design and create truly beautiful products with our fabrics and blanks, and many also teach others how to do the same through workshops and classes. We’re proud to support such creative, talented people, and highly recommend checking out their work and giving them a follow.

Keep an eye on our stories over the next few days for more information about everyone shown here, along with several others.

As lots of you know, our wonderful weaving partner Genesh passed away a little over a year ago. We’re now working with his family, who are continuing to produce our beautiful organic cotton fabric in Kerala.

When sending us some recent fabric samples, Genesh’s son Gokul enclosed this fantastic photo of his (very fresh faced and youthful!) dad hand dyeing some yarn. Such a lovely look both behind the scenes and back in time.

A week late, but it’s been a hectic one. September was a blur! Fabric deliveries, trips, our day, more trips, windfall apples, hedgerow berries and lots of orders out the door.

1. Apples, apples and more apples. Living in Somerset you can’t move for apples in September. Any preserving tips or recipes would be gratefully received.

2. Seamlessly followed by, the most appley section of the colour spectrum in our new washed linens! All 100% linen, just £14.95 per metre.

3. The calming, muted colours of this time of year at the seaside. Pale pinks, chalky blues and deep greys at Falmouth harbour.

4. Cornish charity shop treasure. A real (huge) spinning wheel. Left without it, don’t need it, can’t stop thinking about it.

5. Pricing up deliveries in the showroom after hours.

6. Hedgerow treasure - the sloes were ready early this year.

7. Our organic cotton tote bags were invited along to a hen party in Majorca. With a bit of home-made personalisation, they made the ideal reusable goodie bags.

8. Sunset over Glastonbury Tor.

9. We topped up our impossible-to-resist remnant and seconds trolleys. These alone are worth the trip to our showroom!

Our team is looking forward to a little break over Easter. We will be reopening on Tuesday after (hopefully) a long weekend in the Somerset sunshine. Orders and emails received between now and Tuesday morning will be processed when we’re back.

As some of you already know, our longest standing weaving partner, Genesh, passed away recently. Genesh is responsible for some of our favourite and most popular organic fabrics including our gorgeous herringbone, texweave and cross weave cottons.

Genesh’s relationship with The Organic Textile Company began in the mid-2000s when the business was in its infancy. He and his small team in Kerala began supplying Phil and Ann with organic cotton, long before organic fabric was anywhere near as mainstream and popular as it is today.

The best part of 20 years later, we were still working with Genesh. Despite having retired, Phil and Ann have maintained a close friendship with Genesh and he’ll be sorely missed by all of us.

In Phil’s words, “We rarely talked about price. I trusted him and he trusted me”. That setup continued into our own relationship with Genesh. Before ever discussing fabric we would exchange family news and other updates. Sometimes fabric was never discussed at all! We’re delighted that his family will continue to run the business and we are already enjoying working with his son, Gokul, who we hope will continue Genesh’s wonderful legacy for the next 20 years and beyond.

Thanks for reading. After sharing this news on our stories we received some lovely words from customers, friends and followers which will all be passed to Genesh’s family. Please feel free to comment below or DM if you would like us to add your own message.
