Avoca is a family-run Irish business that dates back to 1723. What began with the weaving of woolen blankets & tweeds from a picturesque mill in Avoca, County Wicklow, has today grown to encompass ceramics, candles & soaps as well as contemporary updates of the mill’s traditional wool designs with their world-famous throws & cosy socks, scarves & hats. Although the designs have changed, the same skills & experience are used to deliver the quality the Avoca name assures, made with all natural fibres, from 100% pure new lambswool, mohair, cashmere & angora to natural cottons & linens.. violet
