Unbelievably, Ireland has not had a yarn festival since before the Pandemic. The Let’s Knit -Yarn Festival will be the first, and entry is free to all.
Fibreshed Ireland will be there and take pre-orders for their Reciprocal Yarn, made of 100% Irish-grown wool. The wool for this yarn comes from a blend of Lleyn, Mayo Mule, Suffolk, Cheviot, BFL, Texel and Scottish Blackface sheep kept by farmers Linda Costello in Co. Galway and Seamus Bradley in Co. Kildare. These two farmers are part of the Reciprocal Textiles programme, where they have been learning and exchanging ideas about regenerative farming practices.
Where: Russell Community Centre, Doolin, Co. Clare V95 E940.
Date: the 29th of October 2023, 10 AM – 5:30 PM.
