Donegal Carpets can be found in Dublin Castle , the Royal Pavilion of Brighton , Eltham Palace , and the U.S. White House as well as many other parts of the world. History Although making carpets in Donegal is an ancient tradition, the company Donegal Carpets is over 100 years old and was founded in 1898 by Scottish people Scottish textile manufacturer Alexander Morton. Before establishing Donegal Carpets, Morton had first established a carpet crafting house on the west coast of Ireland and put to practice the techniques of the Donegal people who had been working with wool for generations.

There were four manufacturing houses at one time in County Donegal but three of the four facilities closed during The Great Depression and in 1987 the last facility closed.

Donegal tweed is a handwoven Tweed cloth tweed manufactured in County Donegal , Ireland. Like the Outer Hebrides, Donegal has for centuries been producing tweed from local materials. Sheep thrive in the hills and bogs of Donegal, and indigenous plants such as blackberries, fuchsia, gorse whins , and moss provide dyes.
