Kohinoor Woollen Mill

Our mill is located at 238 in Industrial Area A. This part of the city is full of factories and warehouses, and we have been a part of it for quite a long time. When you walk inside, the first thing you notice is the smell of raw wool and the steady rhythmic thumping of the looms. It’s a very physical place to work. There is wool lint floating in the air, catching the light from the high windows. We spend our days watching over the machines and making sure the yarn is coming out right. It’s not a quiet environment by any means. We have to shout a bit sometimes just to be heard over the noise. Our desks are pushed into a corner of the main hall, covered in samples and bits of thread. We don't have a separate, fancy office building. We stay where the work is happening. The seasons really dictate how we feel; in the winter, the wool feels nice, but in the summer, the heat in the mill can be quite intense. We have a crew that has been with us for years, and we all just know our roles. We aren't trying to be the biggest or most modern mill out there. We just focus on processing the wool and getting it ready for the next stage. It’s honest, tiring work that keeps us busy from early morning until the sun goes down.
