3 Introduction...inspired by the beautiful hills and bubbling creeks of Wild Wicklow, Beginnings Wild Winter was started by Shelby Cunningham in 2012 after her first visit to Ireland in the dead of winter. It was there that she saw the beautiful hills and bubbling creeks of Wild Wicklow, where the oldest mill in Ireland resides. After discovering the lush, beautiful wool produced in this region, she was inspired to start a company that utilized this amazing fabric. The company started with Shelby, a designer, a seamstress, and a website. Ten years later, the company has grown into a full blown corporation with hundreds of employees and products sold in stores all over the nation. Based out of northeast Ohio, Wild Winter has partnerships with the biggest department stores and the smallest local boutiques. Ireland.
