The Genuine Donegal Tweed from Donegal Yarns in Ireland, because nothing says Tweed like Donegal Irish Tweed - this modern yarn has a soft handle. Beautiful flecks of colour, having been spun in the traditional woollen spun method. Slight slub as you'd expect in a true Tweed in a 4ply/fingering weight single twist. This yarn has all the ingredients of the traditional homespun Donegal because it is just that. Use in colour work or stand alone. Perfect for shawls, fine garments and children's wear. We also love it for blankets. It works well in combination with, or in place of, Jamieson & Smith 2ply Jumper Weight yarn and Tukuwool Fingering. 100% pure Australian and New Zealand Merino Wool. We get it on cones direct from the mill and wind it ourselves. It comes with a fine oil coating and will continue to soften with wear and washing. Available in two size balls - 100g /380m and 20g/75 metre shots for colourworkSuits 2.75mm - 3.25mm needles. Colour shade sample cards are available for $5 each (including postage). The Tasting Box contains at least 20 x 10 gram balls, together with three patterns. Note, colours may change slightly depending on availability. As we always recommend, please hand wash with care - your garments deserve this.
