Genuine Irish Wool for Oscar Nominated Film

We always love to get involved in different projects and especially those on the big screen! Last year we were contacted about a film that was being made and using our Irish wool yarns in some of the pieces for the cast. After a number of exchanges including colour samples and yarn types, the team settled on a number of colours in our Irish wool yarn. Delia Barry, the now infamous and super talented knitter from Co. Wicklow, worked her magic with our yarn to knit the now iconoc jumpers of the Oscar nominated film. Our Irish wool yarns are made using fleece from the Galway sheep, a protected heritage breed. We collect our fleece from partner farmers across the country, each year visiting their farms to collect only the best fleece which we use in our Irish wool yarns and textiles. Once the fleece arrives at the mill we then begin our small batch processes; first hand sorting the fleece, before dyeing in solid colours which are then carefully blended together to achieve the desired colour, this carding process also lengthens the fleece fibres allowing us to then spin the yarn on our Victorian spinning mule. From there we handle the yarn in different ways depending on what we are making, Colin Farrell and Brenadan Gleesons jumpers were both made from double knitted weight which involves a further 8 steps before the final ball of yarn was ready for knitting.
