FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                               GLENOIT CORPORATION



NEW YORK, NY (June 19, 2000)--- Glenoit Corporation, a New York based
manufacturer and distributor of decorative home furnishings and specialty
fabrics for the apparel and automotive industries, today announced that it had
entered into lock-up letters with certain of the holders of its 11% Senior
Subordinated Notes. These lock-up letters are the result of negotiations with
Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin and Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, in their
capacity as advisors to an informal committee of Noteholders.

As of Monday, June 19, 2000, lock-up letters had been executed by Noteholders
holding in the aggregate 83% of the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the lock-up letter, the Company will
promptly commence a tender offer and consent solicitation from the Noteholders
in connection with a general capital restructuring which will provide for the
payment to the Noteholders of 17% of the face amount of the Notes they hold
payable in cash (or in the absence of such cash payment, the surrender of
substantially all the equity of the Company). The lock-up letter further
provides that it will terminate if the tender offer has not been commenced by
July 15, 2000 or certain other trigger events have not occurred by agreed upon
fixed dates.

Glenoit's President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas J. O'Gorman stated,
"This is the first major step forward in completing a financial restructuring
and providing the needed capital to continue Glenoit's future plans for growth".
