Who are we?

Dwy ffrind sydd tu ôl i MeiSian, sef Meinir Roberts a Sian Whitney, sydd wedi dod at eu gilydd i sefydlu busnes yn cynhyrchu dillad o safon gan ddefnyddio cynnyrch gwlân o ffermydd lleol ar Benrhyn Llŷn, sef ardal arfordirol yng ngogledd orllewin Cymru.

Gwraig fferm yw Meinir sydd wedi diddori mewn gwau ers blynyddoedd bellach. Sefydlodd gwmni Meian yn 2017 gyda’r bwriad i ychwanegu gwerth i gynnyrch gwlân y fferm deuluol. Defnyddir y gwlân ar gyfer gweu yn bennaf i gynhyrchu sgarffiau, headbands, hetiau ayyb yn ogystal â chlustogau gwlân arbenigol a siwmperi.

Cafodd Sian ei dysgu mewn gwniadwaith gan Megan Williams, Trefor cyn mynd ymlaen i astudio cynllunio dillad a thechnoleg tecstiliau ym Mhrifysgol Manceinion. Symudodd yn ôl i Gymru a gweithio fel gwneuthurwr hwyliau am ddwy flynedd cyn sefydlu busnes Swear Clothing and Interiors o adref i ddechrau cyn agor siop ym Mhwllheli yn 2003.

MeiSian is a business set up by two friends, Meinir Roberts and Sian Whitney, who have come together to produce high quality clothes using wool produced on local farms on the Llŷn Peninsula, situated on the West Coast of North Wales.

Meinir is a farmer’s wife who has been interested in knitting for many years. She established Meian in 2017 as a business set up with the intention of adding value to wool produced on the family farm. The wool is mainly used for knitting to produce scarfs, headbands, hats etc. and also specialist cushions and sweaters.

Sian was taught dressmaking skills by Megan Williams, Trefor before attending Manchester University to study clothing design and textile technology. She moved back to Wales and worked as a sailmaker for two years before establishing Swear Clothing and Interiors from home initially, subsequently opening a shop in Pwllheli in 2003.
