From the mountains of North Carolina, manual WW weaves, sews, prints, and develops not just the fabrics, textiles, and beautiful products you’d expect from a Heritage company, they bring you the most up to date designs for your home. Even if Thomas Lemuel Oates started manual Woodworkers & Weavers in 1932, the story goes back further. The roots of the company may also be found in Oates’ entrepreneurial spirit. He and his brother used to farm the Mountain areas of Bat cave in Western North Carolina. They would also help their mother find materials for her crafts. The sons began to make wooden whistles, buckets and bird-houses. They would sell their wares in conjunction with her crafts to the people from Charlotte that came through in their horse-drawn buggies with a purpose to the mountains. Later, Thomas worked at the Ashville postcard company. When the depression hit, he lost his job, but it inspired him to enter business and sell crafts, like cornhusk dolls and woven pieces, that were produced by the local women. He had learned about the Wholesale business at the same time as working at Ashville. He built a waterwheel to generate electricity at a mill, began making product and opened shop. Over time, he expanded the company. His son, Lemuel Oates, who would next manage the company, says he worked in the business from a young age. He explains the products were made from cotton scraps left over from making socks. Half-inch circles would be looped together to form quite a lot of products. Lemuel Oates went to college and then settled in Richmond. In December 1973, he returned to Bat cave and took over the company. In 2007 his son Travis and his daughter, Molly Oates Sherrill, took over the business.
