Ailbiona mclochlainn kits and patterns using our donegal tweed
Rooted in the rich textile traditions of Ireland, Ailbiona McLochlainn's designs are a love letter to the craft of knitting — thoughtful, wearable, and deeply connected to the landscape and heritage that inspire them.
Each piece in this collection pairs Ailbiona's distinctive stitch work with the warmth and character of our three ranges of Donegal Tweed, a yarn spun with the soul of the Irish countryside. From cosy vests to elegant pullovers and cardigans, her patterns celebrate texture, structure, and the quiet joy of making something beautiful with your hands.
Whether you're looking for a complete kit to get started straight away or a pattern to work with your own treasured yarn, you'll find something here to inspire your next project.
