Maggi’s Irish Tweeds
Maggie, as an Irish designer is very excited and proud of this addition to her yarns as it is a softer Tweed, truly carrying through the tradition of her Irish homeland heritage from Donegal, Ireland. In Maggie’s previous ready to wear Collection the Donegal yarn was a large part for over 20 years and then they were so rural their Tel number was Donegal 2!!
Donegal Yarns, the original and genuine producer of Donegal (Tweed) effect yarns are influenced by the scenic beauty of the landscape surrounding it. These burst onto the market over 100 years ago, surviving outbreaks of famine in the mid 1890’s to today a team of 21 who use these skills passed down through many generations producing a unique product from raw wool to a finished multi coloured fleck yarn.

A genuine ‘Donegal’ should contain 100% wool, spun using the traditional spun method resulting in a homespun yarn of superior quality and whose flecks are permanently attached and shall not fall out even after several years of wear.
