Cushendale Woollen Mills

Cushendale is committed to using rare Irish sheep's fleece to produce high-quality, genuine textiles as one of the last vertical Irish woollen mills still in operation. This historic artisan mill, tucked away in the heart of Ireland, has a long history dating back to 1204 when Cistercian monks first built a mill here. Since 1778, the Cushen family has been weaving and still carrying on this age-old custom. Every textile and yarn produced by Cushendale is evidence of their dedication to quality and heritage. The finest Irish wool, lambswool, and mohair are used in the design and creation of custom textiles that capture the dedication and artistry of this unique history. Explore the historic mill and see how fine textiles are made from raw fleece using age old methods.
