{"product_id":"wild-donegal-rock-wall","title":"Wild Donegal, Rock Wall","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"migrated-content__description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs beautiful and untamed as the green fields, towering sea cliffs, and tumbling waterfalls of its Irish homeland, Wild Donegal is a rustic chunky-weight tweed yarn made by one of County Donegal's last traditional mills. Small flecks of fiber called \"burrs\" speckle the yarn, giving every stitch lively texture, complex color, and an adventurous spirit!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Yarn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade with 100% merino wool, Wild Donegal has a firm hand and a pleasantly toothy feel, knitting up into a robust fabric with an appealing, earthy quality. The fabric softens with washing and grows even more supple and inviting with wear, developing the character and comfort of a trusted companion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWild Donegal is a three-ply woolen-spun yarn. Unlike worsted-spun yarns, which are more densely spun from combed fibers for a smooth finish, woolen-spun yarns are spun directly from carded fiber, giving a slightly fuzzy surface. This structure traps more air, making the woolen-spun yarns lighter, loftier, and warmer. They also tend to be very elastic and bouncy and, like Wild Donegal, bloom beautifully after washing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis chunky\/bulky-weight yarn can be knit on a wide range of needle sizes, even dipping into Aran weight, allowing you to create everything from resilient, weather-proof outerwear to classic accessories.
