Description:

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

This versatile base allows you to produce distinctive tweed-effect colourways with ease. Each skein contains colourful, plant-based viscose neps that resist dye uptake, creating subtle flecks that stand out against your chosen shades.

Spun in Peru from 87% Peruvian Wool (27 mic) and 13% Donegal Viscose, Donegal Tweed DK offers a soft hand while retaining the traditional look and feel associated with tweed yarns. It dyes evenly and works up into fabrics with clear stitch definition and a balanced drape suited to a wide range of projects.

Whether you’re developing earthy, rustic hues or brighter contemporary palettes, Donegal Tweed DK brings a distinctive tweed character to your hand-dyed range.
