Lovingly created using time-honoured techniques and machinery in Ireland's renowned
Donegal region, LANGYARNS DONEGAL WOOLEN SPUN yarn offers a truly distinctive character with its beautifully blended colour tones.
This exceptional yarn is crafted through the traditional woolen spun method, where shorter fibres are gently twisted together without being completely combed or aligned. Unlike worsted spun yarn, which features meticulously combed and tightly spun fibres, LANGYARNS woolen spun technique cleverly traps tiny air pockets between the fibres. The result? A remarkably lightweight, wonderfully warm and gloriously lofty yarn that's an absolute pleasure to work with.
What makes DONEGAL WOOLEN SPUN truly special is its delightful combination of texture and subtle colour play. Whilst LANGYARNS DONEGAL TWEED+ showcases bold, vibrant neps, this yarn captivates with its delicately blended tones, creating a soft, harmonious mélange that brings remarkable depth and vitality to your projects.
The naturally grippy texture of DONEGAL WOOLEN SPUN makes it brilliantly suited for traditional stitch patterns such as cables or Fair Isle designs. It holds stitches magnificently, providing wonderful structure and definition to any fabric you create.
