Wrap yourself in the warm embrace of Soft Donegal, a worsted weight yarn with a delightful tweedy texture. Made by Studio Donegal in Ireland from 100% pure merino wool, this yarn hails from the rugged Irish countryside, where the sheep roam free and the air is crisp and fresh.
With its soft, squishy hand and rustic charm, Soft Donegal is the perfect companion for all your cold-weather knitting adventures and great for garments and accessories, colorwork and cables! Soft Donegal - where tradition meets modern style, and comfort is always in fashion.

Way back in June, one a trip to Ireland, I purchased a sweater quantity of Studio Donegal Soft Donegal at This Is Knit in Dublin with plans to make the Magnolia Bloom Cardigan pattern by Camila Vad. Unfortunately, I underestimated the amount of yarn I would need to add a steek panel to the project and it became evident I was going to run out of this precious yarn.
Wooly Thistle to the rescue! Not only did they have the skein I needed, can you imagine my delight when it arrived and I realized it was the exact same dye lot as the yarn I’d purchased in Ireland 4 months prior? I merrily finished the cardigan and now I am on the hunt to find the perfect buttons!
Unfortunately, when I try to post a photo I am told that I am trying to upload too many photos at a time, but I only have the one. 😂 But, it is a lovely, soft garment in a gorgeous “Donegal Sky,” blue and I will happily wear it for years to come. Thanks W.T! You’ve made a friend for life 💖
