Very nice yarn. Shipping was not fast but not slow either if that makes sense. I will order from this company again. It is hard to find 100% wool yarn.

Donegal Luxury Tweed by Debbie Bliss is a wonderful and traditional single ply yarn. With its beautiful colors, this is a great yarn for sweaters, accessories or an afghan.
Note: This yarn is transitioning to hanks. Some colors will still come in ball form but all yardage and attribute information is the same.

Easy to knit with..Doesn’t tangle easily and stays on the needles
The color and tweed is very pretty. Though I did find the yarn very scratchy to work with. I did a swatch for the Donegal Tweed Coat pattern that I purchased the yarn for and found it very rough on my hands and realized it was not suitable for a child’s sweater.
I very much enjoy the Debbie Bliss Aran Luxury Tweed yarns. The colors range from neutrals to soft to deeply saturated. The tweed bits add an interest and a depth that does not detract from the stitch detail. I realize now that I prefer tweed to any variegated or multi-colorways based on the results from knitting with and then enjoying the results. I wish they would bring back the chunky version of these gorgeous yarns. I also wish they would come in 100gm hanks of the aran.
Surprised at the thick & thin of the tweed makes a consistent gauge problematic as different colors are different thicknesses It’s disappointing as the treading actually makes thick spots in the yarn & is not woven in
Great texture and color. It is also fun to work with!

I like the quality of products, the friendly, prompt service. I definitely would recommend webs.
I have not used this particular yarn yet, but am familiar with Debbie Bliss yarn and have also always been partial to Donegal Tweed. I'm looking forward to starting this project! Super yarn!
