Description
PLEASE NOTE: You can see Donegal Chunky in all colours in store but we do no keep stock. When you order it will be shipped to you from Spinning Yarns Weaving Tales, or to be picked up in our store within 7 days.
Authentic Donegal Tweed made from Australian Merino and milled in Kilcar Donegal. Perfect for a quick soft chunky cowl or a cosy squishy warm jumper for the coldest of days.
Like my other yarns this yarn too is 'in the oil' and just glides through your fingers. This yarn is 'in the oil' meaning the final mill process of scouring the spun yarn was bypassed. This process uses an immense amount of water for no particular reason but to to make the yarn look shiny new... when in fact you repeat the process when you block the garment... a total WASTE of a valuable natural resource!
'In the oil' is also more suitable for machine knitters and handweavers helping lubricate as you work.
If you don't like the feel you are free to wash the skeins prior to use.
Handwash with love in a quality wool wash and hand hot water, dry flat and watch the yarn bloom!
