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:

5 out of 5 starsNice quality! Beautiful color and craftmanship. Love the hood fits well and the pin it came with is a nice touch. Shipped so fast from Ireland to the states even though the seller sent me a message about royal mail having issues at the moment. It got here faster than stuff I ordered from the states. Great communicative seller and great product. I am a first time buyer but definitely will shop here again. Recommend!!!

4 out of 5 starsI expected it to be thicker? Quality is very good, but it's a bit thinner than I expected.

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.
How to contact me?
