First we dye the fleece, then blend and card it before spinning and plying it. The wool is washed after hanking to give a softer and fuller handle. Typically the fleck/tweed yarns have a recipe of over 10-15 different colourways. Irish Aran knitting yarn are ideal for creating your authentic Aran sweater, scarves and hats.
