Yarn spinning has centuries-old roots in the area, and Hedgerow comes from one of the county's last producers of Donegal tweed yarns. With its small bits (or "burrs") of fiber that polka-dot the yarn, every stitch of Hedgerow is a surprise! This mix makes for a softer hand feel than strictly traditional Irish wool, while still celebrating the aesthetic and integrity of Donegal tweeds. Nice and toothy, Hedgerow knits into a sturdy fabric, full of fascinating colorplay and rugged beauty.
