Debbie Bliss Donegal Luxury Tweed Aran

It’s such a beautiful yarn to work with. I’m making a raglan jumper, and with the knit stitch, the flecks of colour in the tweed really stand out. It smells lovely too, and it's lovely to work with a natural yarn. It’s not the most even fabric as the spin isn’t very even, but this adds to the texture and overall look.

Nice wool, good range of tweedy colours but I wouldn’t say this is Aran weight. It knits up as a double knit weight with slightly smaller needles than suggested and with the suggested needles it is very loose in the knitted swatch even though my tension is average - not loose or tight. So I only bought enough to test a swatch and will make a scarf or something small but disappointed that I can’t make the sweater I was wanting to knit which calls for proper Aran weight yarn. I didn’t wash the...

I liked the colour. It was recommended in Nikki Trench's Basics for Crocheting. I am using it for a basic jumper for my daughter. I used Malabrigos Rio for the same jumper for my other daughter. It was a lot softer to the touch, but since the Debbie Bliss Donegal Aran is half the price, I am not complaining.

I have used this wool now numerous times, to make jumpers for friends and family, and it's absolutely great. Beautiful colours with little flecks of other colours, a proper wool yarn but lightweight enough to make a really useful jumper.

This is a lovely colour, lovely quality yarn. Doesn't pill or fuzz as much as other yarns. Good weight, neither too heavy nor too light. Flecks of other colours for depth. Knits relatively easily, some parts thicker than others which are thin so slight inconsistency of thickness, otherwise fine. Suggested needles are 5mm but I've used 4 and 4.5 mm

i purchased the wool to knit a headband for my great nieces. The pattern was easy to follow and the completed item looked exactly as it did on the pattern. The wool is lovely and soft, very easy to knit with and kept a good shape. I have now made three headbands for three delighted little girls.

Just knitting my first fair-isle cardigan for my granddaughter in France. The wool is gorgeous and arrived really quickly and beautifully packaged. A freee pattern too. What more could I want! Thankyou

The yarn twists very easily when knitting with it, and I had to stop and straighten out the twists. I am using it for a man's jumper for myself.

This is lovely wool, and knits up beautifully. The texture is very nice - the thickness of the yarn is variable, which is disconcerting at first, but looks good once it's knitted. The colour (I chose the dark navy called Midnight) is particularly attractive, and the tweed effect perfect. The yarn feels rough but somehow knits up soft. My only reservation is that the yarn comes in 50gm hanks, which you have to rewind into a ball. I think this would be very difficult if you don't have someone to...

I have used this wool to knit a cosy beanie hat and am now in the process of knitting a scarf. I loved the wool, but wasn’t too sure about how it would knit up being pure wool. I am very pleased with how it’s looking. The wool tends to twirl around a bit as you knit with it, but you get used to it. Love the colour I chose too, it has a lovely variety of coloured flecks throughout. I would recommend this yarn.
