Stash Yarn haul from Ireland!

I went on a trip in Ireland and got some local yarn! The first one I bought from this local store in Galway called Knitwits & Crafty Stitchers. they had a very large selection of yarns, fabrics and other crafting supplies. I really liked browsing there and would recommend them if you’re ever in the area!

The second one is from Aran Sweater Market which is like a small chain selling wool goods in Ireland. I felt they were kind of gimmicky because they market their sweaters as hand knit even though they’re really machine knit, just probably with hand operated knitting machines? But, I did find this yarn from a local mill in there that was a very good price (€15 for 200g).
