Soft Donegal hails from a mill that is based in the small town of Kilcar, Co. Donegal. This is an area of great natural beauty, with a rich textile heritage.
This aran weight yarn represents the softer side of tweed, as it is spun with 100% merino wool fibres. The shades are inspired by the Irish landscape and each skein features characteristic and iconic Donegal "Neps", or tweed flecks in complementary colours.

Don't get me wrong, the quality of the yarn and the color are impeccable, but I what I got in the mail felt much thinner than what is pictured here. It honestly feels like a DK weight when I hold and work with it (even after blocking the swatch to the exact gauge).
Dear team from This is knit 🥰,
I was with you in August and bought the Soft Donegal No. AN890. I was in your shop twice and you were so nice to me 🥰. The Big Love pattern from Ankestrick goes very well with this wonderful wool🍀. I'm knitting the pattern right now and if you'd like to see how the Big Love is growing, then take a look at Instagram "Zimtstern01" in Highlights: in progress. My second Big Love is again knitted from the Soft Donegal😀, in the color: N 121. This time I ordered the wool from Germany. Thank you for the great service.
I'm a real fan of this wool. I'll definitely order the Studio Donegal (Soft Donegal) again. It's also a nice memory of your team in Dublin 🍀
Best wishes from Germany,
Ramona
Donegal Soft yarn is one of my favourite Irish yarns. The richness of this RED is stunning.
I received the yarn! It’s a beautiful purple color with little specks of color. The yarn is 100% wool and a little hard to work with but when the sweater is done it will be very pretty!
Cannot wait to get going on this amazing yarn. Soft, warm, cozy. Will make a shawl with the skeins that I bought. Lovely colours.
