Originally owned by the Harris family of Tregwynt Mansion, the original use of the mill was to grind corn before being turned into a pandy mill. Pandy mills were used a step in woollen cloth-making process, as a method of removing any impurities in the wool.<\/p>\n<p>For over 100 years the mill was used as part of the weaving process, but has been known as Melin Tregwynt since 1912; when Henry Giffiths bought the mill and created the company that we know today. Before this it was known as Dyffryn Mill, translating to Slate House in English (what are the odds!)<\/p>\n<p>Passed down through three generations, the company is now run by Eifion and Amanda Griffiths, who took over the mill in 1986. Currently Melin Tregwynt employs over 30 local people, who use their incredible skills and knowledge to run the mill, millshop and cafe, and to help keep the tradition of Welsh weaving in Pembrokeshire alive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div id=\"gallery-1570-1-slideshow\" class=\"jetpack-slideshow-window jetpack-slideshow jetpack-slideshow-black\" data-trans=\"fade\" data-autostart=\"1\" data-gallery=\"[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2129-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1572&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2129&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Melin Tregwynt Mill&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2099-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1584&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2099&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Melin Tregwynt sign&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2152-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1579&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2152&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Melin Tregwynt Shop&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2197-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1581&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2197&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Melin Tregwynt Mill&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2130-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1578&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2130&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Melin Tregwynt Deliveries&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2187-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1580&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2187&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Melin Tregwynt&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}]\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"><\/div>\n<p>Welsh double-cloth blankets are known as &#8216;Tapestry&#8217; blankets and have been woven in Wales since the 18th Century.

The Millshop and newly renovated cafe are open Monday to Sunday, whilst the mill itself is open Monday to Friday 9am until 4.30pm. You can find all of the imformation about visiting the mill and opening times at <a href=\"https:\/\/melintregwynt.co.uk\/visit-us\/#find-us\">https:\/\/melintregwynt.co.uk\/visit-us\/#find-us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The first time I visited was on a weekend, so was unable to see the looms in action. However, if you do make a weekend visit, the mill is still open for visitors to look around.<\/p>\n<p>This time, I visited mid-week and planned my visit around the mills workings hours. During working hours, the whole mill is open to the public, including the cone winding room, the warping and weaving room, and store rooms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div id=\"gallery-1570-2-slideshow\" class=\"jetpack-slideshow-window jetpack-slideshow jetpack-slideshow-black\" data-trans=\"fade\" data-autostart=\"1\" data-gallery=\"[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2102-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1586&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2102&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Melin Tregwynt Loom&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2104-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1587&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2104&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Melin Tregwynt Loom&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2105-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1588&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2105&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Melin Tregwynt Loom&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2106-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1589&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2106&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Melin Tregwynt Loom&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2112-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1591&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2112&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Melin Tregwynt Loom&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2126-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1593&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2126&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2134-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1594&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2134&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2136-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1595&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2136&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2137-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1596&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2137&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2138-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1597&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2138&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2141-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1598&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2141&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2143-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1599&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2143&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2144-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2144&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.slate-house.co.uk\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2017\\\/09\\\/IMG_2191-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;1601&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_2191&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}]\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"><\/div>\n<p>Visitors will find a production schedule to the entrance of the mill;
