The Blending Room Some of the Irish wool dyed and ready for blending.    Studio Donegal manufactures their own stock of wool having bought machines to manufacture wool from traders both in Ireland and Yorkshire. The breaking machine from Macroom, Co. Cork and the carding machine came from Yorkshire.  The designers try to capture the colours they see throughout the year from the mill windows. The result is a rich palette of colourful seasonal hues that you will see in our shop from from tweed unstudied jackets for men and women and hats and scarves to throws and bedspreads. 2. Carding and Spinning The mule, which spins the yarn, came from Snath Gaeltachta in Kilcar. It was wrenched when they bought it, so they restored it to its original condition and now it spins perfectly. 3. Warping The warping machine came from Connemara Fabrics in the eighties. The weaving pattern is put onto the creel, it then moves the creel to the Swift Mor. When the diamond is completed, they roll the wool onto beams, ready for the looms.   See our Warp Machine in Action 4. Weaving Weaving is the interlacing of the weft threads wideness the warp threads on our traditional wooden looms. The beams come into the weaving room and they manually put them onto the looms. Once that is done, they are finally ready to start weaving. They unshut the warp and the weft is inserted and this is repeated until the tweed is finished. Once the tweed is woven, it moves into the stitching room, where the garments are made. Traditional Handweaving in Action 5. The Garment Making All our garments are made here in the mill in our sewing room. One lady manufactures each garment from whence to end, to ensure quality. Once the garments are finished, they are either taken lanugo to the shop to be displayed or they are sent out to their customers all over the world.  All their work is washed-up by hand and they are very proud of that.
