Flock Dublin

Our neighbour @nmireland.bsky.social Culture Night offerings, the talk on history of Ellis Court which was a building just like ours looks interesting

Meeting some of our future wool suppliers at Ballinclea Farm & Mill #irishwool #irishcraft #wool

I’m pretty late to video editing but this week recorded the assembly process of our Seal Cubs. The dry bit anyway. I looked for EU based video apps and tried Splice and Mojo. Here’s 10 mins of cutting and sewing in under 2 in our Dublin shop #irishcraft #wool #dublin #handmade #irishdesign

The 2026 restock has started with our wool felt fish. The fins are cut from felt manufacturer scraps so we’ve changed our filling for these to recycled yarn (reverse milled from industry waste) to boost sustainability a little more! #recycling #wool #irishcraft #visitdublin

It’s December! Calling last orders for anywhere outside Europe.

@annarave.bsky.social all set up in our shop with her own knits. Today’s the the day for trying her jumpers and hats down in Dublin 7! #irishdesign #wool #speirgorm

Always delighted to be included in the 100 best shops in Ireland by The Gloss and The Shopkeepers - despite our difficult relationship with shoplike opening hours! Thanks so much thegloss.ie/the-gloss-x-...

Youngest is on a sick day so I’ve brought robins home to sew while he naps. #wool #irishcraft #speirgorm #robins

Cutting felt feet and beak pieces for our Robins at home. We need a lot of these this time of year. #irishcraft #wool #robins #dublin

Our Christmas cards use scraps and offcuts of wool felt, stuck with eco glue over a print of a tree trunk drawing on recycled card and come with a recycled envelope packed in clear cornstarch cellophane. Pick out a selection Instore! #irishcraft #woolfelt #christmascards #visitdublin #speirgorm

Love Halloween but hate the plastic? Our 100% wool creepy creatures are stocked up instore along with some little limited run ghosts. #speirgorm #halloween #plasticfree #wool #irishcraft

We’re settled back into a new school term so shop opening hours will be 10 - 2 weekdays (bar the inevitable few sick days!) We’ve been working on our Autumn/Winter pieces over the summer with customer favourite Robins out on the shelves this week. #irishcraft #speirgorm #wool #robins #visitdublin

We’ve been working with 100% Irish Galway Wool for a batch of sheep - it’s normally the just the stuffing as it’s SO hard to work with as an outside layer. A few other favourites that can be all white on the way. #irishwool #irishcraft #visitdublin #wool #sheep

Puffins were a special request by @cleoltd.bsky.social (though we try to keep a few at our shop). For years I thought there was too many details for puffins to work - all the colours in the beak, the. Icy markings, the shape - it this is how we’ve simplified it for our range #puffin #speirgorm

I’ve been in Kildare at my father in law’s funeral and met his uncle who is 93 and told me he owned Smithfield Motor Company which was situated on the same road as my shop, Benburb St. I found these photos and it seems to be opposite current Fidelity bar, where Bargaintown is now. #speirgorm #dublin

In celebration and in memory here’s to the Mammies, it’s Irish Mothers Day #wool #irishcraft #speirgorm

It’s Daffodil Day in support of the Irish Cancer Society, plenty of places to donate around Dublin City this morning. Seems extra significant this year with services being cut in the US. Thanks to all the volunteers and best wishes to all in treatment now. #daffodilday #fuckcancer

Spring time bunnies in natural white Romney and Oatmeal Blue Faced Leicester with tails cut from our smallest white felt scraps with pinking shears. Handmade at our Dublin store. #wool #irishcraft #bunnies #speirgorm

One of our rarer coloured wool creatures, usually found hiding at the back of the shop as they’re one of the more time consuming pieces. Just finished 5 of them, which probably record stock levels. #wool #irishcraft #fox #speirgorm #independentstore

Great idea, I like the positive approach!

A lot of people discover our store for the first time over St Patrick’s Weekend, here’s some of the other non felt animals products by other people and natural crafting wools we have for your own projects. Looking forward to a buzzing Dublin! #wool #irishcraft #speirgorm #knitting #stpatricksday

Quick stop motion of our new slugs in dark grey Merino wool around our own offcuts. #wool #irishcraft #stopmotion #speirgorm #slugs

With Musk getting all the limelight and Zuck seemingly gone quiet it would be easy to forget Meta’s part in all this. The want for photo first media is still keeping android users on Insta, help develop @flashes.blue for Android here www.gofundme.com/f/help-bring...

St Patrick’s Day is coming up, it’s been a full weekend festival last few years, based at Collin’s Square in the museum on our road. We usually see an influx of tourists, particularly Americans - I wonder what to expect this year, are Americans travelling to Europe? #stpatricks #speirgorm #tourism

🤖 Android here we come! Spread the word! Share this far and wide—yell it from rooftops, tell your rich uncle about it, slip it into casual conversation at the grocery store.

I’m a Brit so will put aside my Brexit grievances for a while and support this kind of thing. If you want to see more of these posters around London, you can too by donating here gofund.me/801e9c17

Wow Musk pulled the “getting his dad to have a word with the teachers because he was getting in trouble at school” move. #tesla #trump

Adding Canada and Greenland to our Free Shipping, for obvious non “salesy” reasons. #irishcraft #speirgorm

In the studio starting work (a bit behind schedule) on our spring time creatures. #wool #irishcraft #speirgorm #spring

Happy international Women’s Day! Most of the music I listen to is either a female artist or female fronted band, here’s 60 of them to last 3 1/2 hours of the day. open.spotify.com/playlist/4zM...

This is natural grey Gotland wool, it’s dark and coarse with a bit of a sheen and it’s quick to form a stiff felt. These sheep bodies are made with Gotland on the outside and Galway inside and finished with white Romney parts. Handmade at our Dublin City shop #wool #irishcrafts #speirgorm

A few years ago we made Puffling models for promotion of @gerrydalyart.bsky.social and @erikamcgann.bsky.social which go in bookshop windows and to school readings. My boys love the books and the third book in the series is published today as Gaeilge With @theobrienpress.bsky.social #speirgorm

Happy publication day to ‘Puifín Beag agus an Dorchadas’ by @erikamcgann.bsky.social, illustrated by @gerrydalyart.bsky.social, translated by Muireann ní Chíobháin. Out now! #irishlanguage #gaeilge #picturebooks #publicationday #irishpublishing #obrienpress

Don’t really understand but if I was a small business in US, I’d definitely take it as the OK for nothing through the books and don’t collect and pass on federal taxes

We end up with a lot of small offcuts and often have to sort them - working out what finishing features we have helps us decide what body parts to start. The little white triangles will become bunny tails for a springtime special #wool #irishcraft #speirgorm #craftsky
