  • Painstaking work today from Kevin. We started making Inlay throws in the early days of Studio Donegal , and from time to time we like to hark back to our past, but with new designs. Kevin has mastered the techniques involved in rolling just the right amount of sliver, too much and it's too bulky, too little and it's too stringy. It has to be an even tension so that it doesn't shrink in the wash and pucker the throw. Picking the right colour is important too, here Kevin is going for some blues and purples, sliver from the stormy skies of our rainbow yarn #inlay #textileart #wallhanging #handmade #slowmade #handweaving #handweavers #craft #craftersofinstagram #studiodonegal #throws #cushions #Donegal #kilcar #wildatlanticway

  • There's a bit of a chill in the air today, it's definitely beginning to feel autumnal, perfect weather for wrapping up in our blanket coats. Charlotte is busy cutting some in Teal Blocks, while Anne is making one in Olive Blocks. #autumn #autumnal #wrapup #warmandcozy #handwoven #handweaving #handweavers #donegaltweed #handmade #slowmade #studiodonegal #kilcar #100percentirish #getreadyforwinter

  • It's a mixture of sunshine and showers here in Kilcar today so it's the perfect day for making rainbows. This is the next stage of the wool carding which we showed in some of our previous posts. After this we will spin the yarn on our spinning mule, we will then twist/2 ply the yarn for weaving. We will end up with a gradient yarn, blending from red to orange, orange to yellow, to green, greeny blue, blue , indigo and finally into violet. We will use it to make the warp for our Slieve League range of throws. These throws are hand woven from 100% Irish wool. Irish wool tends to be a bit coarser than the other wools that we use, but it works perfectly well we feel in these blankets. Irish wool tends to be used mostly in carpet making and insulation, as most people feel it too scratchy, and we would tend to agree that it's probably not very suitable for wearing next to the skin! It's a matter of choice I suppose though, but every time see these blankets I remember 'The Great Lover', the poem by Rupert Brooke, Rainbows; and the blue bitter smoke of wood... the rough male kiss of blankets so here we have poetry in blanket format! We love them ❤ #rainbows #rainbow #makingrainbows #rainbowmaking #wool #woolcarding #irishwool #cardingwool #carding #yarn #handwoven #handweaving #handweavers #rupertbrooke #poetry #poet #thegreatlover #slieveleague #madeinireland #donegalconnect
