Anstey Knitting Company

Anstey Knitting Company was a historic American textile manufacturer specializing in producing knitted woolen fabrics, particularly for military and commercial use, starting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known for their high-quality craftsmanship, they supplied knitted goods such as military uniforms, socks, and other garments. Located in the Northeast, the company played a significant role in both wartime production and civilian markets. Over time, like many traditional textiles firms, it faced industry shifts and eventually ceased operations or was absorbed into larger corporations. Their legacy reflects a period of American industrial textile manufacturing focused on durable, knitted wool products.
