With its soft handle and large, characterful flecks, this 100% wool yarn is spun using traditional woollen methods that echo the charm of classic homespun Donegal yarns.

Supplied on cones with spinning oil to aid long-term storage, the yarn reveals its true qualities after a thorough wash. We recommend hand washing in warm water with soap or a gentle wool wash—possibly more than once. Once washed, the fibres bloom beautifully, resulting in a noticeably softer handle and, in some cases, slightly brighter colour.

As with all woollen spun yarns, we strongly recommend knitting or weaving a swatch and washing it before beginning your project. The yarn typically tightens slightly lengthwise and may relax a little across the width. With its fairly high twist, it may knit on a slight bias when worked in stockinette in the round—this usually corrects itself after washing and blocking. The yarn can be used as a heavy fingering weight when held single, or doubled to achieve an Aran-weight gauge.

Ethically sourced from non-mulesed flocks and certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, this yarn pairs responsible production with traditional craftsmanship.

Please note that colour appearance may vary depending on your monitor, and shades can differ slightly between batches—so we recommend purchasing enough yarn to complete your project. If you need more than the listed quantity, feel free to get in touch, as we may have additional stock available.

This yarn is suitable for weaving, hand knitting, 3Gg machine knitting, 5Gg slip stitch work and more.
