JOHN HANLY – TIPPERARY, IRELAND

Our story started back in 1893, when Denis Hanly and his son John set up a vertical woollen mill beside the Nenagh river, in a disused flour mill in Ballyartella, North Tipperary. Local farmers sold their fleeces to the mill, where wool was spun and carded and then woven into two main products of blankets and flannel fabric.

Today, Brian Hanly, the fourth generation of Hanlys, proudly hold the reins of the company. Our mill in Ballyartella remains the beating heart of what we do – yet our story goes around the world.

We work using only natural fibres as raw materials and all are sourced from renowned suppliers who produce and source their wools and cashmere in a sustained and ethical manner. We demand proof of this before we work with any supplier and we are happy to share that information with you at any stage.

We are located beside the Nenagh river in Ballyartella Woollen Mills. That river still drives our water turbine from which we generate our own electricity, so that all our energy is from renewable sources.
