Wore our super special Cladoir sheep wool hat knit for the Connemara Park Heritage Day, & a shawl knit from some other as well (including the Galway & Belclare.)Hooray for Irish wool from - its more versatile than some people may think 🐑🐏🐑

Wonderful photo from the Aran islands about 1950, with what are very likely Ireland's native sheep- the Cladoir & Galway breeds. Pic from the University of Galway's collection.

Look at this gorgeous, soft, Cladoir fleece! Freshly sheared on the Heritage Day at Connemara National Park, then plied into yarn. Some yarn was also then naturally dyed with plants, and both the natural & dyed yarns were being knit into a hat- all on the day! More photos of this to come!
