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.

This is the third jumper I have knitted with Soft Donegal. Shipping to Germany is fast and inexpensive, and the wool arrived a few days later, nicely packaged and with a personal note. The jumper will soon be finished, and I am looking forward to giving it to my brother as a birthday gift.
I visited from the US and was told in advance to visit your shop. I was so glad I did. The selection of yarns is wonderful. Also, I was very pleased that most of the yarns had a large quantity in a single dye lot, making it much easier to purchase for larger projects like sweaters. I purchased 2 colors of Soft Donegal and had it shipped to the US. The package was delivered soon after I arrived home. I was very pleased and would recommend this fine yarn store to all crafters!
The team in the shop are so nice, helpful and knowledgeable, and there is a good colour range in this wool, and it is lovely to knit with.
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
