In a world filled with fast fashion and overseas factories, it's easy to forget that some of the most thoughtful, high-quality textiles are still being woven here in the United States. At FiberArt, we're proud to be an American textile manufacturer based 100% in North Carolina. As a reputable domestic textile manufacturer, we bring together traditional weaving techniques and modern innovation to create products that feel personal, beautiful, and built to last.
For over 30 years, we've been crafting woven blankets, tapestries, and pillows with care. Our products are not just for the art they carry, but for the footprint they leave behind. From artists to luxury retailers, our clients choose FiberArt not just for the look, but for the values behind every stitch. Here's how we're redefining textile manufacturing through sustainability, creativity, and intentional design.

We're Proudly Made in North Carolina
Every product we offer is designed, woven, and finished in our facilities in North Carolina. We don't outsource, and we don't cut corners. This gives us full control over the quality, ethics, and safety of our production. In fact, this is something our clients deeply value, and it distinguishes us from others.
By staying domestic, we also reduce the need for overseas shipping, support American jobs, and help keep traditional textile craftsmanship alive. Our region has a rich history in weaving, and we're building on it with modern tools and a bold new vision.
We Use Sustainable Materials from the Start
Each woven piece begins with 100% cotton, including 25% recycled cotton sourced responsibly. That means we're not only creating soft, breathable, durable textiles, we're doing it in a way that's gentler on the planet.
What's more, this recycled blend helps us cut down on water use, energy waste, and unnecessary raw materials, while still delivering the level of luxury and comfort our clients expect. Whether it's a throw blanket for a boutique or a custom tapestry for a gallery, you can feel good knowing it's woven with sustainable materials.
We Recycle Every Bit of Manufacturing Waste
Zero waste isn't just a goal, it's our practice. At FiberArt, we recycle 100% of the yarn, plastic, and paper waste from our facilities. In fact, we repurpose, reuse, and redirect everything in ways that prevent landfill build-up and support circular design. This means that every blanket or tapestry that we create at FiberArt is part of a larger movement toward smarter, cleaner manufacturing. By working with us, your brand will also become part of that story.
We Save Thousands of Gallons of Water Daily
Textile manufacturing is known for its heavy water use. However, thanks to our water reclamation system, we're changing that narrative. Our process allows us to weave 2,000 blankets using only 30 gallons of water, which saves approximately 3,000 gallons of water per day. This is more than a number, it's a statement. It shows our clients that beauty and responsibility can go hand-in-hand, and that innovation can truly reduce environmental impact.
Our Solar Farm Powers Over 80% of Production
Most of our weaving happens in a facility powered by clean, renewable energy. In fact, our solar farm currently sustains over 80% of our production, and that percentage is still growing. By using solar power, we cut emissions, shrink our carbon footprint, and offer our clients woven products created with sunshine instead of smoke. It's a quiet revolution happening on our rooftops, and it reflects the care we weave into every blanket.
We Offer Weave-On-Demand – A Smarter & Cost-Efficient Way to Make and Sell
At FiberArt, we understand that not every client wants to order in bulk or manage inventory. That's why we offer Weave-On-Demand options. Our made-on-demand program lets artists and brands create custom woven products without any upfront investment. Here's how it works:
We connect directly to your shop through OrderDesk.
You upload your artwork and set your product listing.
When a customer places an order, we weave the piece and ship it directly to them under your brand.
With our Weave-On-Demand program, there is no storage, no waste, and no financial risk. Also, since we only make each piece when your customers place an order, you avoid overproduction and cut down on shipping-related emissions compared to bulk manufacturing. The made-on-demand option is simple, affordable, and empowering, especially for independent creators looking to offer premium merchandise that aligns with their values.
We Offer Innovation with a Human Touch
At FiberArt, we're not chasing trends or maximizing volume, we're building relationships, supporting artists, and creating products that reflect thoughtfulness in every fiber. Whether you're a small business, a creative entrepreneur, or a luxury brand, you deserve a manufacturer that treats your vision like a partnership. Our innovations don't come from machines alone. They come from people who care deeply about the art of weaving, the importance of sustainability, and the long-term success of our clients.
