Vintage Rose – Aran Tweed Weaving Yarn Pack – 100% Wool

Our Vintage Rose colourway brings together five softly contrasting shades of genuine Donegal heritage weaving yarn. Deep Pinot Noir and delicate Cherry Blossom are lifted by Primrose Yellow, while Silver Birch and Lichen add gentle, natural tones. The result is a warm and versatile palette with the faded beauty of an old-fashioned rose garden.

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 Vintage Rose palette together, or combine it with a larger ball of yarn to add contrasting stripes, patterned areas and softly coloured 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.
