Handwoven Wool Knee Throw - Large Check
Product description
This handwoven throw, called a 'knee throw' because of its smaller size, is made in Kilcar, County Donegal by Studio Donegal.
Approximately 60" W x 40" L, and made from 100% pure new wool from 'Donegal Yarns', a neighboring business to Studio Donegal. Each throw is handwoven on site at the studio, in the beautiful Slieve League area of southwest Donegal.
Studio Donegal creates some of the most extraordinary and
beautiful wool products in Ireland. They are preserving a rich tradition
while keeping their designs vibrant and contemporary.
A Brief History of Studio Donegal:
For over 100 years a hand-weaving mill has existed in the Irish
village of Kilcar. In the 1960s, the mill made the shift from hand
weaving to modern machinery with the hope of becoming more competitive.
It was soon apparent, however, that something crucial had been lost.
A decade later, Studio Donegal was founded by Kevin and Wendy
Donaghy with the goal of maintaining and preserving the tradition of
hand-weaving in Southwest Donegal. Today, thirty years later, the Studio
enjoys its second generation of family ownership.
Tristan Donaghy has put together a small team of people with great
skills and experience who are dedicated to making an ongoing success of
the business and keeping the crafts and skills involved alive.
Don't settle for cheap imitations of Hand-woven Donegal Tweed when you can get the real thing.
Made in Kilcar, County Donegal, Ireland.
