One of the only Irish-manufactured hand knitting yarns on the market, Donegal Yarns (Kilcarra) Soft Merino Tweed is a unique multicoloured fleck, available in a breathtaking array of beautiful shades. A wonderful symbol of traditional Irish craftsmanship, this yarn has been produced in a historic mill in Kilcar, Donegal for over 100 years.
Donegal Soft Merino Tweed is a blend of 100% Merino Wool
TENSION/GAUGE
In our experience, this yarn is most suitable for use as a 4ply (fingering to sport weight, 3mm/US2 knitting needles). Depending on your knitting tension, it can be used as a Double Knit (light worsted, 4mm/US6 knitting needles) yarn. Using it as a Double Knit results in quite a loose stitch.
