I’m pretty late to video editing but this week recorded the assembly process of our Seal Cubs. The dry bit anyway. I looked for EU based video apps and tried Splice and Mojo. Here’s 10 mins of cutting and sewing in under 2 in our Dublin shop #irishcraft #wool #dublin #handmade #irishdesign

The 2026 restock has started with our wool felt fish. The fins are cut from felt manufacturer scraps so we’ve changed our filling for these to recycled yarn (reverse milled from industry waste) to boost sustainability a little more! #recycling #wool #irishcraft #visitdublin

We were recently asked to make a trophy for the Dublin Animation Meet-up (DAM) Audience Award based on their Beaver character. I love bringing other people’s illustrations to life and usually do one or two of these projects each year.

Our robins are made with natural brown Merino around Galway stuffing with a patch of dyed merino attached at hand felting stage. Beaks and feet are cut from taupe coloured sheet wool felt and they’re all stitched together with natural Shetland yarn which also does the eyes.

We’ve been working with 100% Irish Galway Wool for a batch of sheep - it’s normally the just the stuffing as it’s SO hard to work with as an outside layer. A few other favourites that can be all white on the way. #irishwool #irishcraft #visitdublin #wool #sheep

Puffins were a special request by @cleoltd.bsky.social (though we try to keep a few at our shop). For years I thought there was too many details for puffins to work - all the colours in the beak, the. Icy markings, the shape - it this is how we’ve simplified it for our range #puffin #speirgorm

I’ve been in Kildare at my father in law’s funeral and met his uncle who is 93 and told me he owned Smithfield Motor Company which was situated on the same road as my shop, Benburb St. I found these photos and it seems to be opposite current Fidelity bar, where Bargaintown is now. #speirgorm #dublin

This is natural grey Gotland wool, it’s dark and coarse with a bit of a sheen and it’s quick to form a stiff felt. These sheep bodies are made with Gotland on the outside and Galway inside and finished with white Romney parts. Handmade at our Dublin City shop #wool #irishcrafts #speirgorm

We end up with a lot of small offcuts and often have to sort them - working out what finishing features we have helps us decide what body parts to start. The little white triangles will become bunny tails for a springtime special #wool #irishcraft #speirgorm #craftsky

9 years ago I posted a prototype of this stork to announce I’d be shut for a few weeks after the birth of our first son - rather than stick his photo on the internet. We do the production version as ‘made to order’ only. Some things are too much work to keep in stock. #wool #irishcraft #speirgorm

I’d be interested to try these shoes made from a waterproof leather alternative derived from apple skin waste in the juicing industry. I’m all for leather, it just sounds really innovative and sustainability is maintained in the other shoe components.
