What do you do with 50 alpacas? Meet the Donegal man putting a modern twist on tradition of wool and spinning
Briefly

John McGonagle transformed his alpaca herd's wool into a successful venture by creating a beanie line with local knitters, highlighting traditional and sustainable practices.
With an eye towards modern markets, we had to embrace innovation. Alpaca fibres are not just luxurious; they tell a story of craftsmanship and locality, reflecting our unique heritage.
Using local knitters not only showcases regional talent but also preserves the art of spinning wool, which has deep roots in our community's history and economy.
As the alpacas roam the mild hillsides of Donegal, they embody a blend of nature and culture, which we aim to celebrate through sustainable fashion.
