Meet the Maker: Avoca Handweavers
Get excited for the fall semester at Trinity College Dublin with an impressive selection of knitwear from Avoca handweavers. We've collaborated with the Avoca handweavers to provide current students and alums with the most comfortable, high-quality knitwear, including scarves, throw blankets, and blanket sets.
The Story of Avoca & the Start of an Incredible Partnership
Avoca's rich history started several centuries ago, dating back to 1723, when the first co-operative weaving mill became available to the public, providing farmers with opportunities to weave wool to make their clothes. What initially started as plain yarn would eventually evolve into something incredible, with various dyes used to add bright, bolder hues to the yarn used to weave clothes and accessories.
A lot would happen between then and now, including the invention of the Flying Shuttle Loom, the release of the first powered loom, the release of new designs and concepts, and so much more, but one thing would remain the same – the remarkable quality of the woven products available to consumers. The business has been wildly successful over the years, opening its first online business accessible to the rest of the world in 2007 and gaining many international customers because of it.
Avoca has undoubtedly made a name for itself throughout Ireland and beyond, so its collaboration with Trinity College Dublin comes as no surprise. Now, students and alums can enjoy purchasing some of the most durable yet comfortable woven materials while showcasing their love for Ireland's leading university.
Cute and Cozy Knitwear for All
