Irish Hand Weaves is a small weaving studio based in Ennistymon, Ireland, creating traditional-inspired textiles with a contemporary, individual character. Each piece is made by hand with care, resulting in distinctive, often one-of-a-kind work. The studio offers functional woven items, including scarves, throws, blankets, guitar straps and críos belts, as well as wall hangings and framed weaves.

It also accepts bespoke commissions, shaped around each customer’s tastes and preferences. Its work includes unique críoses for hand-fasting wedding ceremonies and homespun rugs incorporating local fleece. Fine-art-style weaves are composed with the eye of a painter, making each wall hanging or framed piece individual.

Irish Hand Weaves takes an environmentally conscious approach to materials, prioritising natural, organic and ethical fibres sourced locally where possible. Its weaving materials include wool, homespun wool, alpaca, cotton, linen and silk. Rooted in Irish craft traditions while embracing contemporary design, the studio brings together practical textiles and artistic pieces made in Ireland
