Dún na na nGall Hand Dyed Tweed Yarn - Mushroom Season

MUSHROOM SEASON: HAND DYED DONEGAL TWEED YARN

A rich, earthy palette of deep brown, red, taupe, with a sprinkle of moss green, inspired by the forest floor in autumn. Mushroom Season captures the quiet beauty of woodland walks during autumn. Its variegated hues mimic the natural palette found in wild mushrooms and fallen leaves, creating a yarn that feels both grounded and enchanting.

TEXTURED, SOFT & TIMELESS

Spun from either superwash merino or Bluefaced Leicester and blended with Donegal nep, this yarn is soft, durable, and full of character. Ethically sourced from non-mulesed sheep, it’s perfect for knitting or crochet projects that combine comfort with heritage-inspired charm.

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.
