Julie Dillon Knitwear

I create children's knitwear inspired by the colours and wildlife of Ireland. I hope my bright and subtle colour combinations with fun motifs bring you joy.

Connemara is always beautiful, but on a day like today it's paradise!

Another lovely summer day in Connemara and the sheep seem to be enjoying it just as much as we are!

Instead of saturating land and sea with microplastic, wool gives important nutrients back to the soil when it decomposes.

Garments made from wool last longer, preserving resources. Wool is also reused more often than other fabrics, through reselling or recycling the fibres.

Did you know that wool uses far less energy and water during production than synthetic fibres or even cotton?

Wool is a renewable fibre grown by sheep every year with little more than green grass and fresh sunshine. No pollutants are created by the growing of wool.

Merino Wool is especially well suited to keep Babies comfortable and warm while preventing overheating. The soft, breathable fabric creates a cosy, nurturing feeling.

Company Values
My garments are handmade in Ireland. I value sustainability, high quality and ethical production. There might be easier, cheaper ways, but that wouldn’t feel true to my vision.

Irish Roots
I'm a Dubliner, but Connemara is my second home. There, I'm inspired by nature and feel connected to our cultural heritage and great tradition of Irish knitwear.

Care for my garments is really simple! Due to the natural odor and stain resistance of wool, they need washing only if essential. Hand wash or machine wash at low temperature and spin will do.

Care for my garments is really simple! Natural wool is odor and stain resistant, cutting down on washes. Hand or machine wash at low temperature and spin will do.

Materials
To protect the beautiful nature that inspires my products, I use sustainable wool from Donegal Yarns, wooden buttons and cotton labels to create high quality, durable garments that are completely biodegradable.

My handmade knitwear is the perfect gift for parents to be. They sport joyful colors and cute designs. The high quality materials ensure they can be handed down from child to child and lose none of their luster.

Process
I knit the body, stitch parts of the design and sew the seams together. Then I press the garment and sew on the buttons and labels. Each step is done with love and care in Ireland.

Inspiration
I love color, natural materials and expressing my creativity physically: the feel of wool in my hands, seeing progress with every stitch. I take joy in handling the finished product, knowing it’ll go to a little kid to be worn and loved.
