Quite possibly our favorite yarn, Cricket is a single-ply authentic Donegal tweed yarn that knits up lighter than air! It is a versatile light DK to sport weight, depending on your preference, and is perfect for season-spanning sweaters. Cricket can be knit densely for creating colorwork that really pops, or you can knit it loosely for an ethereal lightweight quality for soft, next-to-the-skin wear. The 415 yard skein is ample, and many projects can be completed in a single skein. It is spun in Donegal, Ireland and comes in a range of 19 rich colors, evoking the dramatic Irish landscape.
A traditional sign of good luck, a cricket is a symbol of abundance and vitality, and their cheerful song is a harbinger of good things to come. We think this Irish tweed yarn might become your next favorite.
