Gaeltarra Knitwear (now Donegal Yarns) Size 44” ( I am a medium and it fits me) Hand knit, tweedie and special effects in the Gaeltarra traditon This Gaeltarra sweater is a classic of this brand with its tweed and yarn effects. It is hand knit and gorgeous! In the fisherman’s style it’s richly thick and heavy. The wool is a lovely textured tweed in grey with beige stripes in a traditional cable design.

To reflect the concentration on flecked/nepp effect yarns and the increased internationalization of the customer base the business was renamed Donegal Yarns in 2008. The business has seen many changes and continues to develop its products and facilities to ensure continued growth and prosperity, while maintaining the integrity and quality of the unique Donegal yarns.
