One of our favorite classic woolly yarns is back in space this week! Lucky Tweed is a gorgeous tweed yarn that has an amazingly soft hand. The yarn is a classic authentic Donegal Tweed yarn made in Donegal, Ireland. Lucky Tweed’s color palette is rich and saturated, dotted with exciting flecks of contrasting tweed. It has the look of classic Irish tweed with a soft hand that you will love to work with. And the sturdy, thicker Aran weight is a deal for quick makes and cozy classics that will brighten up your handmade collection for years to come.
