Cushendale Woollen Mills, Co. Kilkenny
Set on the millrace of the River Duiske, Cushendale Woollen Mills is a mill run by Philip Cushen's family since 1880. It's a brand steeped in history. We dye, card and spin all our own yarn. We also make solid wool blankets and fashion accessories such as pocket stoles, scarves and hats. Because we dye all our own yarns our colours are unique to us. The red carpets at Áras an Uachtaráin were dyed by Cushendale Woollen Mills. The company has previously worked with fashion designers John Rocha and one-time enfant terrible, French designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac.
