Woven candlewick bedspreads are also referred to as “chenille”, “terry-loop” or “popcorn”. Bedspreads woven at Maine Heritage Weavers in Lewiston, Maine are some of the best money can buy. There are very few USA textile companies still in business. Maine Heritage Weavers produces the same quality products that Bates Fabrics was famous for, probably due to the fact that the company was formed by former Bates employees with many years of experience.
This weaving style has intricate needlework producing a 3-D effect through patterns of French knots, or uncut loops forming a fabric pile. American Tradition, John Adams, and Martha Washington’s Choice bedspreads are examples of this type of candlewick construction currently woven. Many other designs are in the Maine Heritage Weavers library and they have design capabilities to produce custom designs if desired.
