It started with a spool of yarn.

Hickory Throwing was founded on family values and a commitment to quality. The company’s journey began in the 1970s when Bill Taylor and his father, Bill Sr., purchased it from Bill’s uncle. Later, Hickory Throwing merged with Jones Textile Co., owned by Jim and Andy Flowers, creating a partnership that brought years of collaboration and growth. Today, Will Clark has joined the team as a part owner, working alongside Bill to carry the company into the future as he prepares to take on sole ownership.
As a small, family-owned business, we cherish the relationships we’ve built with our customers and our dedicated employees. Many of our team members have been with us for years, sharing in our passion for the craft and our commitment to excellence.
Whether you’re producing hosiery, upholstery, blankets, or something entirely new, we’re here to ensure your success. At Hickory Throwing, we’re more than a yarn supplier — we’re a partner you can count on.
