Meet Avoca

Avoca Handweavers is one of the oldest Mills in Ireland, established in 1723 when Donald Pratt, a solicitor engaged to handle the sale of the mill which then faced closure, decided to buy it himself. 

Along with his wife, Hilary, a teacher, he set about getting Avoca Handweavers back on its feet. The Pratts began exporting handwoven rugs and throws to the UK and other countries. To this day they hand weave at the original Mill in the picturesque Village of Avoca at the Meeting of the Waters in County Wicklow.

Avoca are famous the world over for their woven throws, rugs and blankets in natural fibres such as 100% pure new lambs wool, mohair, cashmere and even cotton and linen. 

They are Ireland's longest surviving business and are renowned for their trademark vibrancy of colours and patterns unique to them - Shop Avoca Handweavers

Meet Foxford Woollen Mills

Foxford Woolen Mills is also one of the last working mills in Ireland, representing hundreds of years of skill, dedication and commitment and a passion for craftsmanship that will never fade. 

A quintessentially Irish brand, Foxford was founded by an Irish Sister of Charity in 1892 in the village of Foxford, County Mayo, on the River Moy. After a turbulent history which saw the closure of the Mill in 1908, they overcame a number of struggles throughout the decades to become one of the country's most popular success stories with their passion for craft at the heart of everything they do.

In recent times, Foxford has revived their age old craft with clean, contemporary designs, vibrant colours and softer finishes while remaining dedicated to a superior level of hand finished quality - Shop Foxford Woolen Mills

Meet Mucros Weavers

For over thirty years Mucros Weavers have produced quality woven accessories, under the expert eye of master weaver John Cahill. Their colourful scarves, stoles, capes and rugs, are made from materials such as wool, mohair and alpaca and are inspired by the beautiful scenery and nature of their birthplace; the Killarney National Park, in Co. Kerry. 

Their celebrated products are all handmade, still carried out by the old methods of spinning and weaving, which can be observed by visitors to their craft workshop buried deep in the heart of the park.

From small beginnings, Mucros Weavers have grown to supply over one hundred shops world wide, in countries such as the USA, Canada, France, Germany and Japan - Shop Mucros Weavers
