The Burren National Park, which covers 1,800 hectares in County Clare, drawing its name from the Irish boreen, or rocky place. The Burren is considered fertile rock and is internationally famous for its landscape and unique flora. Alpacas are equally internationally famous. Native to South America and once an animal only to be seen at the zoo or circus, it is common now to see them on farms across Ireland. An alpaca's fleece yields soft, durable, luxurious, and silky natural yarn. Alpaca fibre is similar to sheep's wool, yet it is warmer, naturally water-repellent and fire-resistant. It's pretty tough but soft to the touch. The "Burren" collection is available in a colour palette not too dissimilar to the landscape, nature and fauna of its inspiration. The collection is subtle but will endure even the harshest of elements.
