TWEED BEAUTY

Hand-dyer James McIntosh has taken inspiration from the landscapes of County Donegal and his family’s Irish heritage for his brand-new yarn range, Donegal Rich Tweed. His semi-solid colourways reflect the heathlands, beaches, bogs and mountains of this beautiful region, and the palette is filled with warm greens, blues, yellows and brown. There is also an undyed ecru option.

Donegal Rich Tweed is spun from 87% wool with 13% Donegal neps, which give the knitted fabric lots of character and visual interest - ideal for cosy sweaters, cardigans and accessories. It’s available in both DK and 4ply weights; the DK version offers 225m per 100g, and the 4ply has 400m
