For decades, Irish wool has been devalued, ignored and exported. Our mission is to create a value for Irish wool again, by curating select breeds and selecting exceptional wool for our yarn. We named our company Ériu, the patron Goddess of Ireland, to remind us of our ancestors’ reverence for our natural resources. When you create with Ériu yarn, or attain an Ériu garment, you utilise an authentic piece of Irish heritage. You further a circular, sustainable life cycle for a garment and create heirlooms, to keep, to love and to hand down, all the while contributing to a better future for our planet and our descendants. As farmers ourselves, we have a value and understanding of the farming community which is why we built our Farm to Yarn networks. Incentivising growth and preservation of this valuable national resource, along with a respect for animal husbandry and welfare, is our priority. We visit every farm, hand select every fleece, ensuring a low carbon, ethical and fully traceable supply chain. We are privileged to have our wool spun by the iconic Woollen Mill, Donegal Yarns, in Donegal. Their legacy for creating the finest yarns is globally reknowned. Utilising decades of knowledge combined with cutting edge technology, their sustainable processes along with their attention to detail make them leaders in their field.
