In the heart of Kilcar, Studio Donegal is keeping the tradition of hand weaving alive.

Step inside the working mill and you can see skilled weavers and makers at work, producing Donegal tweed, clothing, throws, hats and accessories on site. This is a real working mill, not a staged demonstration, and visitors are welcome to take a free self-guided tour through the works.

It is a brilliant stop for anyone interested in Donegal tweed, traditional craftsmanship or seeing the work behind a genuinely local product.

We have featured Studio Donegal in our latest blog, with more on the story of the mill and what to expect when you visit.

Read the full piece via our linktree in bio.

Tucked away in Donegal, Kilcar is about more than the views. A visit to Studio Donegal gives you a glimpse into the local weaving tradition, with a chance to see the weavers at work and the craft up close. 🧶

Take the walk through the studio and you’ll see the weavers in action, working at their looms and keeping a craft that has been part of Donegal’s story for generations alive.

Finish the visit with a look around the shop. There’s something special about buying a piece after seeing the craft and people behind it. 🧣

The views may bring you to Kilcar, but it’s the people, stories and craftsmanship that make you want to stay.

Add @studiodonegal to your list for your next Donegal visit!

Such a lovely surprise to receive a visit from these lovely ladies last week, modelling vintage Studio Donegal. These ponchos are from the very early days of Studio Donegal, circa 1980. The designs were the creation of the late Peter Harvey, who had travelled extensively in South America and was influenced by the Inca textiles and culture. Slow and intense work, they were a bid to stand out from machine woven designs, pieces that were impossible to make on mechanical looms, giving Studio Donegal a distinct look of its own. The bag was almost certainly sewn by local woman, the late Betty Murray, who worked from home making these bags and other items for us. The ponchos likewise were possibly sewn by her. #vintage #studiodonegal #handwoven #inlaytextile by @studiodonegal
