Here at Bramble Green we support the age old tradition of knitting and weaving.
Our Hipster Beanies, neckerchiefs, Bonnets and Baby booties are all handmade by local women. These wonderful women use wool from the famous Donegal Yarns to make the most beautiful accessories. The Kilcar Woollen Mill is centuries old - producing the authentic flecked Donegal wool.
The Crop Cardigan, the Icon sweaters and our Bramble Sweater are made with Tweed wool from Donegal Yarns. These knits are made by Donegal artisans on hand-operated knitting machines.
The Aran sweater is an Irish heirloom steeped in tradition and closely linked to the fishing industry. The warmth of a woollen sweater was invaluable to the men that went out on fishing trips to provide for their families.
Historically it was the women in the family that made the sweaters by hand, and each family often had a distinctive pattern they would stitch into the sweater design. We have curated a beautiful range of sweaters with a range of traditional patterns including the honeycomb, cable, Irish moss and diamond stitches.
