Donegal Yarns - Irish Heather

Donegal Yarns is nestled between the hills of southwest Donegal on the coast of the Wild Atlantic Way. Our mill can trace its heritage to the early tradition of hand spinning, which dates back centuries. Irish tweed yarns were spun, woven and knitted in local homes.

About a century ago these traditional natural fibre products were introduced on the international markets and since then ‘The Genuine Donegal Tweed’ has earned world-renowned recognition.

Irish made: We are one of the last remaining companies producing this indigenous and authentic product in Ireland.

The full production process and distribution takes place at our Donegal woollen mill in the village of Kilcar, which has a long history of industrial textile manufacturing.

The Irish Heather collection is designed around the famous 3ply Aran weight wool. Available in a variety of counts and is suitable for weaving and machine knitting not forgetting the traditional hand knitting yarn. This yarn combines New Zealand fibres, meeting all the qualities expected from a natural modern yarn

The Irish heather is a chunky yarn with a vibrant color. This yarn is 'heathered', meaning that different colors are carded together before spinning. This gives the wool a vibrant color that seems to look different every time. The robust yarn is suitable for knitting sweaters, cardigans, hats, plaids and cushions. The wool is also perfect for crocheting blankets and other interior workpieces.
