Description:

Donegal Tweed 4 Ply is an untreated, non-superwash yarn that brings a classic tweed texture and natural character to your dye studio.

This premium base allows you to create stunning tweed-effect yarns with ease – each skein flecked with colourful, plant-based viscose neps that resist dye uptake, revealing beautiful pops of colour against your chosen palette.

Donegal Tweed 4 Ply is spun in Peru from 87% Peruvian Wool (27 mic) and 13% Donegal Viscose, and offers a luxuriously soft hand while retaining the classic character of traditional tweed. The yarn dyes evenly and knits into fabrics with crisp stitch definition and gentle drape.

Whether you’re creating subtle rustic tones or vibrant contemporary colourways, Donegal Tweed 4 Ply gives your range that distinctive handcrafted charm.
