    Can anyone point me to an Irish maker of fabric? Tweed, cotton, etc.
    I can only seem to find design shops wheras I am looking for someone who supplies the raw material by the metre.

    Thanks

    What do you mean by 'raw material'? I don't know of anyone weaving cotton in Ireland, - and I doubt whether there is much in the UK either at this stage. You can get woven woolen fabrics, but they tend to be of the 'hand woven' variety and not cheap.

    I'm probably not using the correct terms, looking to buy off the roll, by the meter, Irish made fabric.
    Is anything being made here other than woolen fabric?

    Linen is still woven in Northern Ireland, though perversely, it is often easier to buy it from England than directly from the North.
