The worsted sibling to Studio Dongal’s Darnie, this is an archetypal wind-defying sweater wool. The airy woollen spun construction means that gauge-wise you can roam from worsted to aran weight patterns – the yarn will be as comfortable on 4.5 as 5.5mm needles and hooks. It knits into plump fabric with a reassuringly robust and toothy handle, with an unexpected softness for such a rustic looking fabric.

Each shade has its own thoughtfully contrasting and toning tweedy flecks, giving a depth and texture of colour to the fabric as you knit.

Studio Donegal is a family run business in Kilcar, Donegal with a long tradition of protecting traditional heritage craft.
