Breda McNelis

Drogheda, Ireland
Breda McNelis has always loved fabrics, yarns and all things textile. As a mature student, she returned to college to study Design, Fashion and Textiles. Breda has always been drawn to natural fabrics such as Báinín; a traditional 100% wool Irish fabric. She’s also drawn to colourful Donegal tweeds that reflect the Irish landscape. These traditional fabrics have become her canvas and onto this canvas she layers merino wool, silk fibres, hand painted silks and select yarns.
