A history of McNutt of Donegal
McNutt of Donegal is a family-run mill that was founded in the 1950s by Bill McNutt. They began by handweaving tweed at a time when tweed was an everyday fabric. This continued until the 1990s when they moved to weaving Irish linen for large fashion houses, which was valued among the textile industry for its exceptional coolness and freshness in hot and humid weather.
Unfortunately, a recession hit the Irish linen market in 2008 but undeterred McNutt decided to return full circle to weaving what they know best – wool! They now make products from all types of wool, from lamb to alpaca and cashmere. When restrictions permit McNutt normally operates a craft and gift shop, as well as an experience theater on the site of the original mill, the place where their story began. Here customers have the chance to discover the inspiration behind their collections.
