AOIFE Cardigan Pattern Kit in DONEGAL TWEED+ by LANGYARNS
AOIFE is a knitted cardigan worked in DONEGAL TWEED+ by LANGYARNS , a yarn made from 100% virgin wool (mulesing free) and spun and dyed in the traditional Donegal region of Ireland.
DONEGAL TWEED+ is instantly recognisable for its bold, colourful neps and authentic tweed character. Retaining a small amount of natural spinning oil, the yarn undergoes a clear transformation once knitted and washed: the fabric blooms, softens, and gains volume, enhancing warmth and comfort while preserving its distinctive structure.
This kit includes the LANGYARNS DONEGAL TWEED+ required for your selected size and the original LANGYARNS PUNTO 87 pattern publication featuring AOIFE.
