Flax to Fabric, Sheep to Shawl: Northern Ireland & Donegal

Flax to Fabric, Sheep to Shawl: Northern Ireland & Donegal

The north of Ireland is a fantastic destination for adventurous, fiber-focused travelers.

 

Touring there gives us the opportunity to explore Northern Ireland (the six counties still part of the UK) plus the Republic of Ireland’s northernmost county, Donegal. Both Northern Ireland and Donegal offer rich history, dynamic landscapes and regional artisans with their own spin on traditional and contemporary crafts.

 

  • delve into Belfast's deep relationship with all things linen
  • wind along Ireland's majestic North Coast, famous for castles, film locations and the Giant’s Causeway.
  • visit indie dyers and designers for some fiber-focused fun
  • explore traditional Irish tweed, still woven throughout County Donegal

 

Activity level: Woolly Wander
