About
A sheep farm and craft studio at Roughgrange, Donore, about 500 metres from the Brú na Bóinne Visitor Centre, run by Alison, a fifth-generation sheep farmer who keeps a flock of Jacob sheep for their natural colours. Everything is hand-processed on the farm, from shearing and carding to spinning, washing outdoors and knitting, and the studio holds ongoing spinning and weaving demonstrations. The shop sells her yarn, scarves, hats and other wool goods alongside handmade work from other local makers. It is a few minutes from the visitor centre, so it fits easily around a Newgrange tour slot.
