Galway Wool Co-Op has joined forces with Avoca Woollen Mills to expand the reach and market potential of native Irish wool, marking a pivotal moment for Ireland’s textile revival. The partnership launches at the Co-Op’s fifth annual Meitheal in Athenry, where the spotlight will shine on Galway wool’s transformation into high-quality yarn for wearables, tweed, and interiors.

The collaboration blends tradition with innovation, shifting from coarse rug-grade fibres to refined worsted spinning, unlocking new commercial opportunities for Irish-grown fleece. With a consistent €2.50/kg trade price and Avoca’s national platform, the partnership signals a turning point for sustainable, local supply chains in the premium textile sector.
