Fisherman Out of Ireland Knit shop

Established by the esteemed Blarney Woollen Mills family business in 1991, Fisherman Out of Ireland has forged a path in design-led Irish knitwear for three decades. Each item in the extensive collection for both men and women, from the initial stitch to the final press, is meticulously crafted at the knitting factory in Kilcar, County Donegal. This village, nestled in a Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) region, boasts a rich textile tradition and is embraced by the Derryveagh mountains and the wild Atlantic Ocean.

The breathtaking surroundings, along with the influence of local fishing communities, act as a perpetual source of inspiration for Fisherman Out of Ireland. This inspiration is reflected in the development of new yarns, colors, and styles with each successive collection. Despite being situated on the edge of Europe in what may be considered a remote area, the brand’s 100% natural fiber, high-quality, and contemporary jumpers are shipped worldwide to all corners of the globe.

Comprising a close-knit team of 38 individuals, many of whom have devoted over 25 years to crafting Fisherman, the brand exudes a sense of continuity and artisanship. In a snapshot captured at Showcase, Ireland in January 2020, some of the dedicated staff members are featured on the trade stand. This occurred shortly before the unprecedented events of the past year unfolded. Looking forward, the Fisherman Out of Ireland team eagerly anticipates reconnecting with both new and existing customers in the days to come.
