Inspired by the breath-taking scenery of Ireland, Arranmore Light yarn is spun in a mill that traces its roots to the homespun tweed industry of 19th century County Donegal. This DK-weight yarn blends cashmere and silk with fine Merino wool to create an authentic tweed yarn in a colour palette reminiscent of the wild Irish coastlands for makers who appreciate the best of luxury and tradition.
“Wrap yourself up in heathered tweed luxury with this gorgeous DK from The Fibre Co. With a colour palette evocative of Irish landscapes, Arranmore Light features beautiful shades full of tweedy neps that add depth and interest to the fabric. The sumptuous blend of fibres blooms beautifully with washing, and has fantastic softness and drape.” – The Knitter, Issue 115

One of my favourite yarns. Garment number three on the needles now!

I love this yarn! Light, but warm and holds its shape. Beautiful tweeds. I knit a tunic-length sweater, and it’s now my favorite for fall, winter, spring.

What a wonderful yarn! I’m always surprised by its “colorfulness”! (Is there such a word?) Yet the end product is subtle and so interesting. It’s warm to wear without feeling heavy. It’s delightful to knit. I’ve now used 6 of the colors for mittens and sweaters and every project has been successful. This yarn has it all.

I knitted a sweater with this in 2023, and love everything about it. I kept saying “I never want to knit with another yarn but this again.” It’s so soft. And the colours!
