Made in Donegal, Ireland

A single-ply authentic Donegal tweed yarn that knits up lighter than air! It is a versatile sport to light DK weight, depending on your preference, and is perfect for light weight season-spanning sweaters. A traditional sign of good luck, a cricket is a symbol of abundance and vitality, and their cheerful song is a harbinger of good things to come.

While as a sport weight, Cricket is a highly gauge versatile yarn. It can be knit densely for creating colorwork that really pops, or you can knit it loosely for an ethereal lightweight quality for soft, next-to-the-skin wear. The 415 yard skein is ample, and many projects can be completed in a single skein. It is spun at the same mill in Donegal, Ireland where the Lucky Tweed is spun, and comes in a range of rich colors, evoking the dramatic Irish landscape.
