Our Wholesale Ranges

Traditions - Aran Donegal Tweed

Spun in Ireland from 100% pure wool, Traditions is our classic Aran weight Donegal Tweed. Milled by Donegal Yarns in Kilcar in Co. Donegal, this yarn carries generations of Irish craft tradition in every skein. With its characteristic fleck and colourful palette, Traditions is a perennial bestseller and a natural fit for any retailer with an eye for quality natural fibres. 160m per 100g.

Faerie Folk - DK Merino Mohair Tweed

A unique blend of 70% soft Merino and 30% Kid Mohair, Faerie Folk is our signature DK weight yarn. It's soft, versatile, and unmistakably Irish. Its halo and subtle tweed fleck make it a favourite among knitters seeking something a little out of the ordinary. Named after Irish Mythology and it's a rich seasonal palette, it sells strongly both online and in-store. 220m per 100g.

Banbha - Luxury Sport Weight Merino, Cashmere, Silk Tweed

Named after one of the legendary queens of Ireland, Banbha is our most luxurious yarn — an exquisite blend of 80% Merino, 10% Cashmere, and 10% Mulberry Silk, spun in Ireland with Donegal tweed fleck. Positioned at the premium end of the market, Banbha appeals to discerning knitters looking for a truly special fibre experience. 300m per 100g.

Lore In Oil - 4 Ply Fingering Merino Mohair Tweed

Lore is our beautiful 4ply yarn, blending soft Merino and Mohair Tweed into a fine, lustrous base perfect for socks, shawls, and detailed colourwork. Rich in texture and depth of colour, Lore brings the same Irish provenance and quality as our other ranges in a lighter, more delicate weight. Lore retains the oil and will need wet finishing. 400m per 100g.
