About
When Outhwaites Rope-makers closed its doors in 2022 after a rich history of ropemaking dating back to the early 1900s, their production manager Andrew had a difficult decision to make; he could either change careers or take a leap of faith and keep rope-making alive in North Yorkshire. Together with wife Heather, who he trained as a rope-maker herself, they bought the bulk of machinery from Outhwaites owner Mrs Annison, and moved it up the road near Richmond to set up Kefi Ropemakers, part of Kefi Textiles Ltd.
At Kefi, Andrew and Heather cover it all; they produce twisted and braided ropes for the trade market taking a vital place in the British supply chain, as well as supplying makers and creatives with smaller quantities through their online rope store Land of Rope and Glory.
It doesn't end there though! The couple have developed a number of ranges of finished products from Homeware, to craft kits, to Kefi Pets, their in-house Pet brand; all of which is available to see on their online shop Kefi Store.
Andrew and Heather use a wide variety of materials but specialise in natural fibres like cotton, wool and flax.
