Rugged and remote, County Donegal is the traditional tweed capital of Ireland.

Eddie Doherty, who lives and works in the small sea-side village of Ardara, is a master weaver with over 50 years experience, he's also one of last remaining commercial hand weavers still working in Ireland.

An Eddie Doherty wool throw is soft, thick, warm and wooly, and is generously sized at over 4 feet by 6 feet with hand-twisted tassels at each end. Heirloom quality.

Eddie's throws are woven from beautiful "Donegal Yarn", the authentic tweed wool yarn manufactured in Kilcar, Donegal, Ireland. "Donegal Yarn" is famous for interesting texture and colorful flecks woven into the yarn in the spinning process.  The first step in the weaving process involves loading the antique loom with yarn - that takes Eddie Doherty an entire day to set-up.

Last year, Eddie's work shop was visited by Ireland's Taoiseach (prime minister), Brian Cowen and some of Eddie's customers include Madonna, Sarah Jessica Parker, Uma Thurman, and Meredith Viera.
