This video was made by Robert Newton a TV documentary producer whose family were in textiles in North Carolina for generations. Newton got the idea for the documentary after he found himself constantly correcting people who said that the textiles industry in NC state was dead. It’s a full blown TV documentary which lasts 30 minutes but its well worth watching.

The documentary talks about a survey carried out in 2006 which found that there were still 1400 textiles companies operating in the state – after it was thought by many to be dead and buries. Its full of interviews with industry leaders and case studies of companies which are heralding the revival of the industry.
