Spun with time-honored techniques on traditional machinery in Ireland’s Donegal region, Donegal Woolen Spun is known for its richly blended color tones and heritage craftsmanship. This yarn is created through the woolen spinning process, which uses shorter fibers that are loosely twisted together without prior combing or alignment. Unlike worsted spun yarns—where fibers are straightened and tightly spun—woolen spun yarn captures tiny pockets of air within its structure. The result is a yarn that’s notably airy, warm, and full of loft.
What truly distinguishes Donegal Woolen Spun is its beautifully textured hand and the understated complexity of its color, and features subtle tonal blends. The effect is a soft, tonal mélange that adds both depth and natural vibrancy to your projects.
Thanks to its slightly grippy feel, Donegal Woolen Spun is especially well-suited for classic stitchwork such as cables, Fair Isle, and other textured patterns. It provides excellent stitch definition and lends a solid structure to finished garments.
