DONEGAL TWEED YARN 

100% Irish Wool | Aran Weight | Spun in Donegal 🇮🇪

There is a particular honesty to Donegal tweed.

Born of landscape, weather, and generations of textile tradition, this yarn carries the quiet complexity of the Irish coast — soft greys, moss greens, ocean blues, and the subtle flecking that defines Donegal's characteristic landscape.

Spun and commercially dyed in Kilcar, Co. Donegal, this is an authentic Irish Aran-weight yarn made from 100% pure new wool. It is warm, durable, and deeply satisfying to knit with — the kind of yarn that settles into garments made to be worn for years.

Whether you are knitting a traditional Aran jumper or a contemporary everyday piece, Donegal tweed brings depth, texture, and heritage into every stitch.

In a nutshell

  • Fibre: 100% pure new wool

What it is ideal for

Character

Donegal tweed is known for its heathered base and distinctive flecks, created during blending, carding and spinning. These subtle variations give finished garments depth and life, and connect them to a long Irish textile tradition.

Care

Hand wash gently in cool water
Reshape whilst damp
Dry flat

Shade continuity

As with all traditionally spun yarns, subtle variation exists between dye lots.
If working on a larger project, we recommend ordering sufficient yarn to complete your garment.
