Farm to Fabulous: Handcrafted Heirloom Knitwear
Discover the journey of our handcrafted heirloom knitwear from Farm to Fabulous. At Irish Heritage Knitwear, we take pride in offering garments with 100% traceability, ensuring quality and authenticity at every step of the process.
To own a garment that holds its own history is a pleasure in itself. All our garments come with a brief history of the farm and a link to see photographs of the animals that gave their fleece. It just makes it that bit more tangible to enjoy real Irish sustainability and heritage garment production.
Fibre Sourcing
Our garments start with the finest fibres sourced from local Irish farms, where sheep and alpacas are raised with care and respect for the environment. By supporting local farmers, we ensure the sustainability and quality of our materials.
It is so important to know where our fleeces comes from, that's why we spend time visiting farms to see the quality of the fleece but also to get to know the families and the animals.
We all put so much care into raising the animals and working with the fleece, that it shows in the quality of garments we produce.
Plus if you come to Ireland, or live here, you will know exactly where your garment came from and that to us is part of the magic of Ireland.
Knitting and Spinning
Once the wool is sourced, it is hand-spun and knitted by skilled artisans who carry on the tradition of Irish craftsmanship. Each stitch is made with precision and expertise, creating unique and timeless pieces.
Our unique ability to create heirloom garments allows our spinners and knitted to create the most beautiful yarns and finished items.
And while we use stitch patterns handed down through generations, we cleverly incorporate them into garments that fit our 21st century needs and designs.
We create our own unique patterns, to ensure beautiful design, craftsmanship and exactly the fit and look our customers are looking for.
We have a bespoke service where you can even choose your own stitch patterns to tell your family story.

Finished Item
The journey of each garment culminates in a finished item that embodies the spirit of Irish heritage. From the farm where the animals grazed to the hands that knit the final stitch, every piece carries a story worth sharing.
