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.
