40 years of Howkel Carpets.
Raymond and Philip Howe started Howkel selling bound rugs on Huddersfield market. Today we're still family run, still making carpet, still in Huddersfield.
We make 80/20 wool carpets at our Huddersfield mill and sell them straight from our shop. Proper wool at prices that make sense.
Good wool carpet has got expensive. We don't think it should be.
Because we make it ourselves at our Taylor Hill mill, there's no middle man. You get a real wool carpet at a sensible price, fitted by people who know it inside out.
Carpet, underlay, fitting and binding: it's all done in house.
