One of the only Irish-manufactured hand knitting yarns on the market, Donegal Yarns (Kilcarra) 4 Ply Tweed is 100% pure Irish merino wool with a unique multicoloured fleck, available in a breathtaking array of beautiful shades. A wonderful symbol of traditional Irish craftsmanship, this yarn has been produced in a historic mill in Kilcar, Donegal for over 100 years.

TENSION/GAUGE
This yarn is manufactured for commercial use, and as such, Donegal Yarns do not provide an official handknitting gauge for it.

In our experience, this yarn is most suitable for use as a 4ply (fingering to sport weight, 3mm/US2 knitting needles). Depending on your knitting tension, it can be used as a Double Knit (light worsted, 4mm/US6 knitting needles) yarn. Using it as a Double Knit results in quite a loose stitch.
