Here at Weavers of Ireland, we are proud to showcase the very best of Irish heritage with our classic and contemporary designs. We work with talented Irish craftspeople to create designs that reflect the history of this unique place and we have a gorgeous range of clothing, homewares and gifts that are popular all over the world. Our wraps and shawls are a key part of our collection, with options for layering up, dressing up your outfit and keeping you cosy and warm.
The Lambswool Celtic Ruana Wrap is a striking design that is available in several stunning colours. Whether you want to embrace the shades of nature with the gold colourway or you fall in love with the eye-catching teal, you’ll love this versatile wrap that can also be worn as a shawl, a scarf or even a skirt. It’s the perfect way to layer up in the Autumn or the Spring time when the weather is changeable, and it makes a beautiful addition to any outfit for a casual or formal occasion.
Some of our designs are better suited to the colder seasons, and wraps and shawls are an excellent choice for chilly days, but we also love a wrap or shawl for the summertime, and the Cable Aran Wrap is a great example of summer wrap style. Wool is a surprisingly good choice for warmer weather, because it is breathable and helps to regulate the temperature, making it ideal for layering up. We love the cable knit stitching that is said to represent the ropes used by the fishermen of the Aran Islands in their daily lives and the natural white wool colour is the perfect choice for keeping cool in the sun.
Our wraps and shawls are made using traditional methods, including the knitting and weaving that have been used for centuries in Ireland. Originally, these skills were used by the families of fishermen and farmers in Ireland to create garments to protect them against the elements during their working lives, and they have become popular across the world for their versatility and practicality as well as their unique style. These wraps and shawls make gorgeous gifts for your loved ones and you can choose from a wide range of designs and colours for every occasion.
