Thank you for visiting my site.
My journey began with a love of wool and traditional crafts over the years, having been inspired by a childhood growing up in a creative family home in beautiful, rural County Antrim close to one of the last remaining woollen mills where 'Lough Neagh Tweed' was produced by the Ulster Woollen Mill Co..
I began spinning my own yarn at home from locally sourced fleece and soon found I needed a way to use up my stash of this handspun wool so along came my first loom and the rest is history.....
Everything created by me is produced and packaged in a sustainable manner using locally sourced 100% pure Wool and Alpaca.
All of the Donegal Tweed blankets are handwoven on a traditional 4 shaft floor loom in the old way.
All fabrics woven are one off, unique heirlooms.
It is important that I support locally produced wool and I try to use undyed wool in warps where possible. keeping our handweaving heritage alive and producing items that are made to last for generations to come, inspired by the glorious colours of Ireland's beautiful land and sea.
The craft and it's tools, in terms of hand weaving have little changed since ancient times.
These traditional ways strengthen our connections to the past and the flora and fauna off the land, that provide for us the raw materials allowing us to create fibre & fabric to clothe ourselves in such a deeply satisfylng process for the soul.
I hope it will inspire you to look more closely at the connection between our land and our people, a craft that dates back to 1600 bc in the Antrim hills, the tradition of weaving in Ireland and how it has moulded our lives is an incredible part of our history.
