textile mills
Cloth production facilities
Textile mills are factories where fibers are processed into fabric.
Raw materials like cotton, wool, or synthetic fibers enter one end; woven or knitted cloth emerges from the other.
The term evokes the Industrial Revolution, when water-powered and later steam-powered mills transformed manufacturing: The old textile mills along the river have been converted to apartments.
