About This Yarn

Our Donegal aran has a slightly soft silver colour due to the blending of the neps in this yarn. The neps resist the dye so maintain their colour and will not bleed into the yarn. The yarn takes the dye really well and you can achieve speckles on this yarn, although they may not appear so prominently due to the Donegal nep.

This is suitable for socks on a tighter gauge. We produced two swatches for this yarn, the 4mm creates a better structured fabric, although the 5mm has a nice drape. Please note the neps on this yarn are brown and black.
