Kate Irish Tweed Store is a part of Ring of Kerry Crafts - a family run business based in Killorglin, Ring of Kerry - the most beautiful part of Wild Atlantic Way.
All my creations are guaranteed handmade by myself and local crafters(knitwear).
The word “tweed” is an English variant of the Scottish word “Tweel” which refers to a rough unfinished hand woven fabric. The name became associated with the Tweed River which forms part of the boundary between England and Scotland. Nowadays the name became a general term for all carded “homespun” wool whether it was Scotch, Irish, Donegal, Cheviot or Harris Tweed. Our Irish Tweed uses Irish Wool with subdued colour effects (heather mixes) to continue this tradition.

IMPORTANT NOTICE;
All of my wool tweeds are made in Ireland from Irish wool; made to highest quality.
Big variety of fabric patterns has been achieved by my efforts to source them from a few family run woollen mills in Ireland.

About me:
I am self-taught craftswoman and designer, living in Killorglin, County Kerry, Ireland.
I`m registered with Design and Crafts Council of Ireland since 2015.
I'm a proud member of ``Original Kerry`` - network for craft makers based in County Kerry, Ireland. The aim of the organisation is to provide excellence in craft and our members are selected for their skills in craft and design.

Thank you for supporting Irish based, family run craft business.

How to soften wool garments?

Fill a basin with cold water and thoroughly soak the garment in it. Then drain the basin and gently press the water out (woolens should never be wrung). While it's still damp, apply a liberal amount of hair conditioner and work it through the fibers. Higher quality hair conditioners will work better , and make sure you're not using one of those 2-in-1 "shampoos and conditioners" mixes.
After working the conditioner in and leaving it for a half hour or an hour, then rinse it, then lay it out flat to dry and it should be noticeably softer.
