Oonagh Hand Dyed Merino Yarn - The Emerald Isle

THE EMERALD ISLE: HAND DYED MERINO YARN

A hand-dyed merino yarn in a stunning jewel-toned green, inspired by the beauty of Ireland’s landscape. Rich, vibrant, and full of depth, this colour brings a natural brightness to any project. Whether you’re knitting a cozy shawl, a lightweight wrap, a cardigan, or a special handmade gift, this yarn adds a fresh touch of Irish charm with every stitch. Its versatile shade works beautifully on its own or paired with neutrals and bolder colours, making it a go-to choice for knitters and crocheters who love yarn with character and life.

LUXURIOUSLY SOFT & VERSATILE

Spun from 100% superwash merino wool, and ethically sourced from non-mulesed sheep, this yarn is luxuriously soft and smooth, with beautifully clear stitch definition.

Hand Dyed to Order

Hand dyed in small batches in Donegal, Ireland.

Please note that, as with all hand dyed yarn, each skein is beautifully unique, and colours may vary slightly even within the same dyelot. Colours may also vary from screen to screen. To keep your knitting consistent, we recommend buying enough for your project at once.

Care Instructions

Gently hand-wash in cold water with mild detergent or wool wash. Test swatch when combining light and dark shades, as deeper colours (especially reds and neons) may bleed. Squeeze excess water out before drying flat.
