Picture this: a remote stretch of coastline, with icy blue seas that go as far as the eye can see, where golden eagles soar, mountains frame the rugged landscape and the Northern Lights illuminate the skies. This is the setting of the serene County Donegal - the home and inspiration for the creation of Debbie Bliss’ heritage Donegal yarns. Let’s take a walk through the yarn’s history and magical qualities.
Nestled between the hills of South West Donegal and the Atlantic Ocean, Donegal Yarns wool has been spinning tweed effect yarns for centuries. Since the 1800s, they’ve built a reputation for having a rich history of spinning, weaving, knitting, and of course the production of the beautiful thread that holds all of these crafts together: yarn. From raw wool to the finished nep-flecked yarn, delectable fibres has been produced over many years including the well-loved Debbie Bliss Donegal Luxury Tweed Aran.
