MY WOOL + IRELAND

I’m getting ready to take a trip back to the beautiful land of Ireland - my first time being back since I moved over a year ago!

Things I can’t wait for: spice bags, taco chips, walks down the Liffey, local magazines, cycling (this one I'm in two minds about - my bike riding muscles have gone dormant), pints of Guinness, yummy little cakes, wearing SO MUCH WOOL, seeing my friends, and last but certainly not least, celebrating milestones with my family. I CAN’T WAIT!

Down to business… since I’m a one-woman show, being away from my studio means the studio is taking a break. Any orders placed from now til the start of March won’t begin production til the start of March. Shoot me an email hello@studiokelsey.com if you have any questions or concerns. I’ll be so excited to get back to knitting for you upon my return :’)

Have I told you how much I adore the wool I knit with?

I started this business while living in Ireland and the beautiful wool I knit with is spun in Donegal, Ireland. Before I left, I had the chance to get a tour of the Mill and walked through their whole production process - starting with raw wool, through dyeing, blending, carding and spinning, to a finished muli-colour flecked yarn that make all my pieces what they are!! Unique and soft as hell!

Enjoy a visual walkthrough of this process, captured by giddy me:
