Cushendale blankets and throws are crafted at the family-run Cushendale Woollen Mills in Graignamanagh, County Kilkenny, Ireland, using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The process begins with carefully selected natural fibres, including wool from the rare native Galway sheep, which are dyed and blended to create rich, distinctive colours. The fibres are then spun into yarn using historic machinery, including a Victorian spinning mule dating back to 1890. Skilled craftspeople weave the yarn on traditional looms, bringing each design to life. The woven fabric is carefully washed, finished and inspected to achieve its beautiful texture, softness and quality. Every Cushendale blanket reflects a commitment to Irish heritage, traditional craftsmanship and textiles made to be treasured for years to come.
