This is great to knit with and sooo warm to wear. I knitted my daughter a jumper two winters ago and she’s worn it non-stop so I knitted myself a cardigan last winter and now I’m going to knit something else for myself in a number of Tahki colours for this winter coming - I love it that much!
I use Tahki Donegal Tweed to knit ponchos. It is a strong yarn and hold shape beautifully. It also comes in many interesting colors.
When I received the yarn, I was initially put off by the yarn's feel - it feels almost synthetic, dirty in the hand. I knitted up a swatch - looks lovely. The key was wet-blocking it. It feels much more like a regular tweedy 100% wool now. Relieved, but I wish it felt better to knit.
Beautiful, homespun feel. Thin in places and snaps easily when trying but no breakage while knitting up. Truly is a gorgeous yarn!
Knit up well for an Emotional Support Chicken pattern using worsted weight 16 stitches to 4 inches, so Donegal was close. I knitted tight to make it work. Nice texture, just not enough yarn--needed 200 yds, and I had to buy a second skein to finish. So, I'll have to use another kind for the next "chicken"----
Exactly as I expected. I'm familiar with this yarn.
Tahki yarns are consistent in quality. I like to make dog sweaters from Tahki Donegal tweed
Colour a bit darker than expected but overall pleased with the product
I found this so warm to wear when knitted up. A little rough but it certainly helped to get me through the winter. Love the colours too
I have knit with this wool before and gave only swatched the recent purchase. Quality wool, knits up beautifully.
