Join me in Athenry as I spend a morning with members of the newly formed, 'Galway Wool Co-op'. Hear how enthusiasts of this multi purpose 'Galway' rare breed sheep have secured a new route to market for their fleece. In this episode find out about traditional crafts such as hand spinning and blade shearing as well as about this long established breed. Meet Chris from 'Donegal Yarn' and Esther who is a mixed farmer from Donegal. We also hear about how the Co-op was founded and how they came together as a group during Covid lockdown.
