A mill has stood on this site since 1819 taking fleeces from the sheep farms of the area, carding and spinning them into woollen yarn and then weaving the yarn into cloth and blankets. The mill today makes a line of upmarket blankets, cushions, clothing and accessories. HistoryTregwynt woollen mill (Melin Tregwynt) lies in an isolated valley on the coast of Pembrokeshire.{{sfn|A little about us… Melin Tregwynt}} It is about {{convert|0.75|mi}} from the Pembrokeshire Coast Path.{{sfn|Kelsall|Kelsall|2016|p=16}} The hipped and whitewashed rubble stone building has the date of July 1819 on a roof truss.{{sfn|Tregwynt Woollen Mill – Historic Wales}} It was originally a corn mill, and was converted to a woollen mill later in the 19th century.{{sfn|Lloyd|Orbach|Scourfield|2004|p=198}} The mill was part of the Tregwynt estate.{{sfn|Nelson|2013}} On 1841 Tithe Map it was called Dyffryn Bach, owned by G. J. Harries and occupied by David Evans.{{sfn|Tregwynt Woollen Mill – Historic Wales}} The local farmers would sell their fleeces to the mill, which would wash, card, comb and spin the wool into yarn and then weave it into blankets.{{sfn|McCrum|2012}} The mill was powered by water from the local stream.{{sfn|Nelson|2013}} In an unusual design, the water wheel is inside the building.{{sfn|Lloyd|Orbach|Scourfield|2004|p=198}} The large iron overshot wheel probably dates to the later part of the 19th century.{{sfn|Tregwynt Woollen Mill – Historic Wales}} The water wheel drove hammers that beat the woven cloth to clean and soften it.{{sfn|Nelson|2013}} Later the water wheel drove leather belts that powered the carding engines and looms. This equipment has been preserved in the old section of the mill.{{sfn|Nelson|2013}} The present owner's grandfather bought the mill for £760 in May 1912 and operated it with his son. During World War II the mill devoted most of its capacity to making knitting wool, which was not rationed.{{sfn|McCrum|2012}} In the 1950s the owners opened a shop at the mill for tourists, opened shops in St Davids and Fishguard, and started to develop Melin Tregwynt as a brand.{{sfn|McCrum|2012}} The business thrived in the 1960s and 1970s and survived the recession in the 1980s that forced many Welsh mills to close. The founder's grandson entered the business and started to develop foreign markets.{{sfn|Melin Tregwynt – Rume}} Recent yearsAs of 1997 the mill was weaving {{convert|2|mi}} of cloth each month.{{sfn|Country Life 1997|p=50}} Melin Tregwynt now outsources some processes, including carding and spinning.{{sfn|McCrum|2012}} The mill's water wheel still functions, but is no longer used to power the machinery.{{sfn|Melin Tregwynt – Welsh Mills Society}} The 2008 Guinness Book of Records noted that the mill had woven the world's largest picnic blanket for Waitrose.{{sfn|Melin Tregwynt – Visit Pembrokeshire}} In 2012 the mill celebrated 100 years as a family business, now weaving for a global market.{{sfn|McCrum|2012}} The mill today makes fashionable blankets, cushions, bags and other finished products.{{sfn|McCrum|2012}} The looms are still manually warped, the knots are tied by hand and the blankets are finished by hand.{{sfn|Katie (Sheepskin)}} Melin Tregwynt operates a cafe at the mill and a shop that sells clothing, bags, lampshades and ceramics.{{sfn|Dragicevich|O'Carroll|Smith|2013|loc=PT365}} In September 2012 Melin Tregwynt was featured at Heal's in London during the London Design Festival.{{sfn|McCrum|2012}} In 2012 the Welsh fashion designer Jayne Pierson created a line of bespoke women's wear for Melin Tregwynt.{{sfn|Rees|2012}} The mill featured in a BBC Two Wales Made in Wales episode in December 2012.{{sfn|Melin Tregwynt – BBC}} The mill's products have been featured on various TV shows including Big Brother and Doctor Who.
