Donegal Yarn – the famous knitting tradition from Ireland now at Aran Switzerland

When you think of Ireland, rugged coastlines and wild landscapes come to your mind – and most likely the iconic Donegal yarn. This yarn coming from the north west of Ireland is world renowned for its distinctive look, durability and association with real craftsmanship. We proudly present our new collection of Donegal jumpers and are delighted to bring this tradition to Switzerland.

What makes Donegal yarn so special?

Donegal yarn is unique through its fine and colourful flecks that are created during spinning. Fibres of different colours are blended to become a lively yarn full of character. This yarn is:

• Robust and durable – perfect for cold days.
• Naturally warm – protects reliably against wind and weather.
• Stylish and unique – no two jumpers look the same.

Donegal – home of tweed and knitting

Donegal is not only known for its yarn, but also for Donegal Tweed that has been woven in Ireland for centuries. Many international designers use this fabric for its combination of tradition and modernity.

Aran & Donegal – two Irish knitting traditions come together at Aran Switzerland

Aran jumpers are synonymous with symbolic patterns such as cables, diamonds or honeycombs that have been narrating stories for generations. Donegal yarn is associated with its characteristic colour flecks and robustness. Both knitting traditions are authentically Irish and timelessly modern.
