Crafted using traditional machines and techniques in the Donegal region of Ireland,
DONEGAL WOOLEN SPUN stands out for its uniquely blended color tones. This yarn is produced as a woolen spun yarn, where shorter fibers are loosely spun together without being fully combed or aligned beforehand. In contrast to worsted spun yarn, where fibers are carefully combed and tightly spun, the woolen spun method traps small pockets of air between the fibers. This results in a yarn that is exceptionally lightweight, warm, and lofty.
What sets DONEGAL WOOLEN SPUN apart is not only its pleasantly textured feel but also its subtle play of color. Unlike our DONEGAL TWEED+, which features bold, colorful neps, DONEGAL WOOLEN SPUN is characterized by delicately blended tones. The result is a soft, harmonious mélange that gives the yarn depth and vibrancy.
Thanks to its grippy texture, DONEGAL WOOLEN SPUN is perfect for traditional stitch patterns like cables or Fair Isle. It holds stitches beautifully and gives structure to any fabric.
