Welcome A tradition still in the making…. Croeso Melin Tregwynt is a small whitewashed woollen mill hidden away in a remote wooded valley on the Pembrokeshire coast. There has been a mill on this site since the 17th Century, when local farmers would bring their fleeces to be spun into yarn and woven into sturdy Welsh wool blankets. Today we find our yarns from further afield but the legacy of Welsh double cloth weaving is still handed down from generation to generation and weaving continues in the same mill building. The history of weaving is recorded here in an unbroken line right back to 1841, and the mill has now been owned by the same family since 1912. Over 30 people work here creating fabrics which are useful, beautiful to look at and just a little bit special Traddodiad sy’n parhau …. Melin fechan, wyngalchog yw Melin Tregwynt ac mae’n swatio mewn cwm coediog, anghysbell ar arfordir Penfro. Bu melin ar y safle hwn ers yr 17eg Ganrif, a bryd hynny byddai ffermwyr lleol yn dod â’u cnuau i’w nyddu yn edafedd a’u gwehyddu yn garthenni o wlân Cymreig. Heddiw, mae ein hedafedd yn teithio ymhellach i’n cyrraedd, ond caiff y traddodiad Cymreig o wehyddu brethyn dwbl ei drosglwyddo o genhedlaeth i genhedlaeth o hyd, ac mae’r gwehyddu’n parhau yn yr un felin. Yma, cofnodir hanes gwehyddu mewn llinell ddi-dor sy’n ymestyn yn ôl i 1841, ac mae’r felin wedi bod yn yr un teulu ers 1912. Mae dros 30 o bobl yn gweithio yma, i greu ffabrigau sy’n ddefnyddiol, yn hardd ac ychydig bach yn arbennig 03
