Soft Donegal hails from a mill that is based in the small town of Kilcar, Co. Donegal. This is an area of great natural beauty, with a rich textile heritage. This aran weight yarn represents the softer side of tweed, as it is spun with 100% merino wool fibres. The shades are inspired by the Irish landscape and each skein features characteristic and iconic Donegal "Neps", or tweed flecks in complementary colours.
