OUR STORY

OUR INSPIRATION

Wild Atlantic Yarns is a small, family run hand-dyed yarn studio based in the North West of Ireland.

The rich heritage and stunning landscape of Ireland are the influences and inspiration behind our designs, and we draw upon Irish art, literature and nature when creating new colour stories. Our colourway titles reflect the story of our design choices. 

OUR PROCESS

We use professional grade, colour and light fast dyes.

Living in such beautiful surroundings is a constant reminder of the importance of sustainability. Wherever possible, we take steps to reduce our environmental impact. Food grade citric acid is used to set our colours, dye baths are exhausted and water recycled to minimise waste.

We are beyond fortunate to live 10min from the Atlantic Ocean.

While our local beaches are thankfully pristine, plastic pollution is an ever present and growing concern. As such, Wild Atlantic Yarns has a zero plastic shipping policy.

THE WILD ATLANTIC WAY

Donegal is at the tippy top of The Wild Atlantic Way, the world’s longest defined coastal touring route. Its 2500km is home to some of the world’s most spectacular scenery, warm hospitality and unforgettable experiences. Our studio sits on The Wild Atlantic Way, and our company name is in tribute to its beauty.
