We’re settled back into a new school term so shop opening hours will be 10 - 2 weekdays (bar the inevitable few sick days!)
We’ve been working on our Autumn/Winter pieces over the summer with customer favourite Robins out on the shelves this week.

We’ve been working with 100% Irish Galway Wool for a batch of sheep - it’s normally the just the stuffing as it’s SO hard to work with as an outside layer.
A few other favourites that can be all white on the way.

Puffins were a special request by @cleoltd.bsky.social (though we try to keep a few at our shop). For years I thought there was too many details for puffins to work - all the colours in the beak, the. Icy markings, the shape - it this is how we’ve simplified it for our range

I’ve been in Kildare at my father in law’s funeral and met his uncle who is 93 and told me he owned Smithfield Motor Company which was situated on the same road as my shop, Benburb St. I found these photos and it seems to be opposite current Fidelity bar, where Bargaintown is now.

It’s Daffodil Day in support of the Irish Cancer Society, plenty of places to donate around Dublin City this morning. Seems extra significant this year with services being cut in the US. Thanks to all the volunteers and best wishes to all in treatment now.

One of our rarer coloured wool creatures, usually found hiding at the back of the shop as they’re one of the more time consuming pieces. Just finished 5 of them, which probably record stock levels.

St Patrick’s Day is coming up, it’s been a full weekend festival last few years, based at Collin’s Square in the museum on our road. We usually see an influx of tourists, particularly Americans - I wonder what to expect this year, are Americans travelling to Europe?

This is natural grey Gotland wool, it’s dark and coarse with a bit of a sheen and it’s quick to form a stiff felt. These sheep bodies are made with Gotland on the outside and Galway inside and finished with white Romney parts. Handmade at our Dublin City shop

We end up with a lot of small offcuts and often have to sort them - working out what finishing features we have helps us decide what body parts to start. The little white triangles will become bunny tails for a springtime special

9 years ago I posted a prototype of this stork to announce I’d be shut for a few weeks after the birth of our first son - rather than stick his photo on the internet. We do the production version as ‘made to order’ only. Some things are too much work to keep in stock.

Would be really good to tidy this up before Bsky gets too big. There are 3 speirgorm feeds to choose from in the feeds list, it would be good have two deleted - I’m all for this decentralised thing but if users can create feeds it will get messy if they’re duplicated without checking.

Other than the dark on the left, which is natural grey merino blended with dyed black, these are 100% natural undyed wools used for each of our mouse shades. Sheep breeds are Finnish, Merino, Shetland and Blue Faced Leicester. The white stuffing is Galway Native breed.
