Lakeshore - Aran Tweed Weaving Yarn Pack - 100% Wool

The Lakeshore colourway brings together five fresh, naturally balanced shades of genuine Donegal heritage weaving yarn. Royal Blue and Dark Blue add depth, while Sea Foam Green and Lichen reflect the softer greens found along the water’s edge. Milk lightens the palette, creating a calm and versatile combination inspired by lake water, grasses and open skies.

The yarn comes from the original Kilcarra Tweed range, an Aran-weight knitting and weaving yarn manufactured in County Donegal. Spun using the traditional woollen-spun method, it has the distinctive large flecks, texture and character associated with traditional Donegal tweed-effect yarn.

Each of the five colours is pre-wound onto a reusable card shuttle, so you can get straight to the enjoyable part of weaving without preparing your yarn first. Use the complete Lakeshore palette together, or combine it with a larger ball of yarn to add contrasting stripes, patterned areas and carefully placed accents.

The yarn is supplied with a small amount of spinning oil still in the fibres, as is common with yarn prepared for traditional weaving. This helps it pass smoothly through the warp and reduces catching or snagging on the loom. The finished weaving can then be gently washed to remove the oil, allowing the wool to bloom and become softer, fuller and more beautifully textured.

Its woollen-spun construction gives the yarn strength and elasticity while retaining its characterful, softly flecked appearance. It works especially well with the standard Rocket Loom and can also be used for knitting, crochet and other small creative projects.
