Our Winter Woollies
Winter can be wonderful but not when it’s freezing outside!
No need to get left out in the cold next time you go for a walk on the wild side because in Ireland we know a thing or two about keeping warm. Peat fires and snuggly throws keep us toasty at home, and outdoors we just love our woollies.
From the Aran Islands to Kilkenny there are gifted craftspeople bringing contemporary Irish style to practical, everyday things and we have collected some of the very best in our Winter Woollies Collection.
And we never lose our sense of humor no matter what the weather, as you can see from the locals on this Tom Joe cushion cover, by Carrickfergus artist Thomas Joseph.
Wrap yourself in something warm from Ireland.
It’s a special kind of warmth.
Traditional Aran
Aran handknit is the wearable expression of your Irish roots. It feels great, looks great, keeps you warm, is a conversation starter, a fashion statement, and practical and luxurious. It might just be the perfect gift for yourself or your bestie.
A new take on an Irish scarf
We love these unique and stylish collars. It’s like wearing a piece of art. Every time we wear one someone always asks: “where did you get that?” Each collar is lovingly handcrafted in 100% Merino wool in County Kerry. Wear as a stand-up collar to dress up a coat or jacket; flat over a jersey or cardigan; or as a statement headband (which is how our twenty-something nieces wear them).
Pure Irish wool scarves
There’s nothing like a pure wool scarf, made in rural Ireland by the oldest woollen mills.. Our Aran, Cushendale, and Foxford unisex scarves are made from the finest Irish wool and in beautiful finishes and colors. The Aran Crios Irish Scarf with its distinctive stripes on either end, is dedicated to the traditional Crios sash worn by Irish fishermen in days gone by, and often used for the symbolic “tying of the knot” at a wedding.
Snuggle up
These Cushendale throws are the perfect snuggle partners. Cushendale Woollen Mill in County Kilkenny has been designing and weaving unique Irish wool products for six generations. With vibrant colors and the softest wool, you’ll feel the love and craftmanship in each throw. It’s like wrapping yourself in a warm hug from Ireland.
Ahhh, Guinness
A Guinness is great in any weather but these authentic Guinness bobbles, beanies and hoodies will give you warmth of a different kind. Great for the St Patrick’s Day parade (if there is one!) or for keeping the chill at bay on game day. They definitely work best when accompanied with a pint of the Black Stuff!
