Avoca Fuels Irish Wool Future | Galway News

Avoca is doubling down on Irish wool by locking in a major deal with The Galway Wool Co-Op, buying nearly four tons of rare-breed wool at their annual shearing event — a win for farmers and a lifeline for the endangered Galway sheep. Beyond commerce, Avoca’s partnership with NCAD invites fashion students to design homeware using this wool, with last year’s winner, Thea Drislane, turning river and myth into salmon-scale coats. This collaboration blends heritage with innovation, empowering local talent and ensuring Ireland’s textile traditions stay alive — one woven piece at a time.
