Its Irish – Its Donegal Tweed Wool – Its blended with Nepps in contrasting colours that give the Donegal Tweed Look. It’s modern in style and design, It’s long-lasting and warm, It’s individually knitted for you.
In 1984 the McNelis family established Rossan Knitwear Ltd, incorporating Glencolmcille Woollen Mill. This family owned and operated business in the Malinmore Valley of Glencolmcille, Co. Donegal had its beginning in more difficult times when emigration from Glencolmcille, and, indeed, from many parts of Ireland, was the only option for many young people.
Having a long tradition in handcrafts, the business survived through the production and marketing of hand knitted sweaters and accessories. As the home and overseas markets developed domestic knitting looms were used to produce the knitwear.
We feel proud of our achievements over the last 26 years. Skills have been developed and today we continue to manufacture high quality knitwear for the markets both at home and abroad.
We also feel proud that we have been able to live and work in this inspirational part of Ireland, in an area rich in archaeological sites, and area of awesome mountain, lake and moorland landscape and with a spectacular coastline.
To all who come to our Visitor Centre and Shop… .to purchase an item or merely browse or just to have a rest and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, we assure you of a traditional welcome.
