Our Mill
Our mill, set in the charming village of Avoca Co. Wicklow, could easily be overlooked as a picture-perfect relic of times gone by. However, within these white washed walls lies the hub and heart of our weaving industry.
All of our weaving and much of our design processes occur here. We love welcoming visitors to our mill where they can soak up the atmosphere and observe the weaving journey in progress. Having seen first-hand the care and attention which goes into each piece, visitors can continue to our shop and enjoy some of the delicious homemade sweet and savoury treats on offer in our café.
The Avoca Mill Tour
Our mill tour invites people to see first-hand where our throws, rugs, scarves, and more come from, and to witness them being made by hand. Visitors can chat with third-generation weavers to learn more about the craft and can find out the steps involved in the making of a famous Avoca throw.
Tickets can be purchased at the retail desk on arrival.
