I used to work for Dryad in the late 1970s and 80s. They supplied craft equipment and materials to schools and colleges - apart from weaving and textiles their catalogue included bookbinding, pottery, art materials - lovely traditional stuff. Their initial focus was on cane seating and the museum in Leicester has an interesting collection relating to the origins and history of the company, see http://gimson.leicester.gov.uk/leicesterdesigners/harry-peach--dryad
