Traditional Donegal Handloomed Crafts
Rathlin Knitwear is a progressive craft business based in the Gaeltacht area of south-west Donegal.
The company uses a wide range of new and traditional types of raw material including a signature line in Donegal tweed wool.
The wool is hand-loomed into sweaters, scarves and hats.
Their tunic style is based on the traditional fisherman's sweater and features heritage stitching.
The sweaters have a very distinctive finish thanks to the tweed wool.
It is very popular with local holidaymaker and TV/movie star, Sarah Jessica Parker; she belts hers at the waist.
Many of the garments are hand-finished by home workers in their houses.
