Lisbeth Mulcahy, who is originally from Denmark, has been living in Chorca Dhuibhne, The Dingle Peninsula, with her Irish husband Louis since 1975. This is also the year she started weaving under the tutelage of American weaver Joanne Hayes.

Following an intensive course in Sweden in weaving and textile theory in 1980, she developed her business to the point where she opened her present workshop and shop in the Centre of Dingle town in 1986. Today Lisbeth Mulcahy is one of Ireland's best known designer/weavers and tapestry artists.Siopa na bhFíodóirí is the combined studio and retail outlet of Lisbeth Mulcahy , one of Ireland's best known designer / weavers and tapestry artists.

The shop is open Monday to Saturday throughout the year and, in summer, evenings and Sundays as well. Lisbeth designs all the woven goods on sale in the shop, where she employs one or two other weavers to make all the wall hangings on display, while her scarves, throws, and table linen are made by a friend of hers, a commercial commission weaver. She, herself, makes the unique tapestries.
