Handloomed Connemara blankets 🐑🧶

There’s a blanket for every home, and then there’s one that carries a story in every thread. This Mist-toned throw is handloomed from 100% merino wool and is built to last generations, not seasons.

✨ 100% merino wool, handloomed in Connemara
✨ Heavyweight for real warmth, not just looks
✨ Generous size: 5’9” (+3” fringe) x 4’8”
✨ Dry clean only — an heirloom, not a throwaway

This is slow-made comfort. No shortcuts, no synthetic shortcuts either -just wool, a loom, and generations of craft.

A calm mind is your superpower. 💚

Have you heard of the Connemara Worry Stone? It's a small ritual that's been used in Ireland for generations — smooth, palm-sized marble with a hollow shaped just for your thumb.

When you rub the stone, it's said to hold your worry, giving you a chance to find a bit of calm and some relief from whatever's weighing on you. No batteries, no app — just a stone small enough for your pocket, there for the school run, the desk at 4pm, or the last few minutes before sleep.

Ours is genuine Connemara Marble, quietly known as the Gemstone of Ireland. Because it comes straight from the ground, no two stones are ever quite the same.

When you shop the stone on our website it comes with a classic Irish poem and approach to worries — perfect to make you, or a loved one, smile, and to keep those worries in perspective. Swipe through to read it. 👉

Why worry, after all? Sometimes a small stone and an old bit of wisdom is enough.

Share with a friend who needs to hear this today. 💚

Meet the fluffiest new arrivals at the Centre... and no, you don't need to feed them, and they are very quiet IRL! 🐔✨

These gorgeous hand-crocheted chickens are the work of the wonderfully talented LS Designs, made right here in Connemara.

Linda (the master crocheter) spotted a gap in the market for quality handmade toys, picked up her crochet hook, and never looked back — now she creates the most beautiful heirloom insects and farm animals, each one made to last a lifetime.

Before there were batteries, chips, screens and tablets, there was fabric and thread.

Rag dolls are one of the oldest toys in the world, stitched by hand for centuries, passed down through generations, and loved just as much today as they ever were. Simple, soft fabric and a whole lot of imagination.

Meet Roisin, Eileen and Bridie our collection of handmade ragdolls, made with that same old-fashioned love. Simple, soft, and built to become someone's most trusted childhood companion.

Swipe through for a little bit of rag doll history 👉 and find them all at the link in bio.
