Irish Guild of Weavers, Spinners, and Dyers

The Irish Guild of Weavers, Spinners, and Dyers (IGWSD) is an organisation for the promotion and preservation of hand weaving, spinning and dyeing in Ireland.

[8] Another one of its aims was to rekindle enthusiasm for classic forms of handweaving, spinning, and dyeing, which had been losing popularity.

[9] As described in Irish Tweed: History, Tradition, Fashion, the IGWSD, following its establishment, replaced the original Weavers' Guild, and initially published a regular newsletter and hosted monthly meetings, as well as educational events.

[1] The Irish Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers traditionally held a major annual exhibition in Dublin.

[18] The Guild participated in an RTÉ historical exhibition in Merrion Square as part of its 1916 Easter Rising commemorations.
