Why You'll Love It

The Donegal viscose flecks give Woolshed its distinctive tweedy appearance, adding little points of contrast throughout your hand-dyed colourway.

The DK weight creates a warm, substantial fabric without being overly bulky, making it an easy choice for everyday garments and accessories.

Simple stocking stitch lets the combination of hand-dyed colour and tweed do the talking, while its woolly character also makes it a lovely option for colourwork and textured knitting.

Woolshed is available in both 4 Ply and DK, so you can choose the weight that best suits your project while keeping that same distinctive tweedy character.

Care

Hand wash at 30°C or below, ideally using a wool detergent.

Dry flat. Do not tumble dry or dry in direct sunlight. Avoid wringing or twisting.

A Note About Hand-Dyed Yarn

Every skein is dyed by hand, so colour can vary slightly from skein to skein. If your project requires more than one skein, alternating skeins every few rows will help blend any variations beautifully.

The tweedy flecks remain visible through the hand-dyed colour, giving familiar Cow Cat Creations colourways a different character on Woolshed.

Colours may appear slightly different depending on your screen.
