Ériu is appropriately named after Ireland’s patron goddess, the goddess of fertlity, sovereignty, and abundance of the land. It offers not only a plush and lively hand that belies its sturdy core but also an important step toward the revival of the Irish wool industry, which was decimated after the 1960s and historically suppressed during British colonization. Every fleece that goes into these gorgeous skeins is hand-sourced from the owners' farm in the Wicklow Mountains and from a nationwide farm-to-yarn network. The farmers themselves are paid over ten times the industry rate, and the farms are small and family-run, focusing on regnerative farming and never using mulesing. Make something special that you'll want to wear (or be worn) a lot! Enjoy! Hand wash, and lay flat to dry.
