Originally a "pandy" (Welsh for fulling mill), situated on the banks of the river Crafnant to use the soft water to wash the wool and drive the water wheels, the mill is still run by the descendants of Thomas Williams who bought it in 1859.

The wool is carded, spun, doubled, dyed, warped and woven on the premises.
