Danann Crafts is the home of many different treasures that will be a perfect gift for Mother’s Day. Danann Crafts is run by a husband and wife team, Sinéad and Peadar McMahon, based in Lurgan, Co Armagh. They were inspired to produce and sell craft products by the four treasures in Irish mythology belonging to the Tuatha Dé, so they created Danan Crafts to be a central hub for amateur and professional crafters to promote some of Ireland’s most unique art. Their handmade snoods are made from wool with various colours available in-store and online. For more information go to dananncrafts.com Photo: Danann Crafts
