Approx. read time: 2 minutes

As the days shorten and the air turns crisp, there is a particular pleasure in returning to the comforts of wool. At The Merchant Fox, winter is not simply a season, it is a celebration of craft, tradition and the quiet joy of well-made pieces. This November, the Fox Mill Shop opens its doors for a festive showcase that brings all of this to life.

On Saturday 29th November, from 10.00 AM to 4.00 PM, guests are welcomed to visit the Mill Shop at Tonedale. It is a chance to step inside the spiritual home of Fox Brothers cloth and enjoy a thoughtfully curated selection of seasonal exclusives. From soft woollen socks to scarves, tweed caps and considered Christmas pieces, the shop is filled with gifts and winter comforts rooted in generations of Somerset weaving.

The event, Winter Wonders in Wool, invites visitors to explore pieces made with Fox Brothers cloth especially for the festive period. The Mill Shop sits within the historic Tonedale site, and the setting lends a gentle sense of Fox heritage to the experience, allowing each piece to feel connected to the story of the mill.

Fox Brothers has been part of Wellington’s landscape for more than 250 years. The Fox Mill Shop honours this history, offering a unique opportunity to discover Fox cloth where it is woven. The Tonedale site, remains at the heart of Fox’s operations today, a testament to craft, continuity and the enduring appeal of wool.
