About Appleton Wools

In 1835, Thomas Appleton set up Appletons in Pitfold Mill, Haslemere, for the manufacture of worsted lace and epaulettes for military uniforms; at one time, Appletons were the only mill in the country which made this braid. Additionally, Appletons made wicks for candles.

Soon after, Thomas married and moved to Elstead, where he took over the corn mill. To this day it is known as the Mill at Elstead and is a well known pub and restaurant. It retains the bell tower which was installed by Thomas Appleton to call the workers to the mill – at its high point some 100 workers were employed here.

Sicklemill in Haslemere

Thomas Appleton was still renting other mills in Haslemere and in 1854 bought Sickle Mill. Appletons continued in Surrey until the 1880s when it moved to West London, where it occupied a factory in Chiswick for over 100 years until in 2013 it moved to its current position in Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire. During this last 100 years, the use of military braid was phased out and the company turned its focus to embroidery and tapestry wool, specialising in British-only crewel and tapestry wool.

Today, Appletons prides itself on the quality and consistency of the wool it produces.
