Studio Donegal, bringing us woolly goodenss from Ireland, has become a fast favorite here at The Woolly Thistle. Darnie is a scrumptious fingering weight yarn which is 100% Lambswool, spun in Ireland at Studio Donegal.
This soft yarn has a tweedy texture in a beautiful array of colors. Perfect for those fingering weight projects where you want a soft yet woolly fabric. Great for colorwork and cables too - you'll want to get this yarn on your needles right away!
Looking for Inspiration for Studio Donegal Darnie:
Ziggy Played with Yarn by Plays With Fibre - colorwork shawl
Pictus Pullover by Teti Lutsak
Polina Pullover by Teti Lutsak
Banrion by Plays With Fibre - shawl!
Inse by Ailbíona McLochlain - sweater
Please remember that every effort is taken to represent the true colors of the yarn and that monitor settings will vary.
FIRST, if you ever make it to Ireland, make sure to VISIT Studio Donegal, and shop all of their gorgeous yarns, but also walk through the mill, watch the weavers at work, and watch the process of their turning roving into their gorgeous yarn.
Next, I did in fact bring home several skeins of Darnie (along with others of their gorgeous yarns), and it is lovely to work with. The colors are so vivid, the stitch definition is great, the yarn is soft but not mushy… highly recommended!
Soft like Cormo. Looking forward to starting a sweater soon.
