Studio Donegal Soft Chunky – 100% Merino Wool Bulky Yarn

Inspired by Studio Donegal’s beloved Soft Donegal range, the Soft Chunky takes everything that makes that yarn special — the genuine Irish character, the beautiful natural tones, the satisfying softness of 100% merino — and scales it up to a 3-ply bulky weight that knits up quickly and beautifully. Whether you’re making a cozy sweater, a chunky hat, or a warm cowl, Soft Chunky delivers that authentic Donegal quality in a format that rewards fast knitting.

Comes in 100g hanks, hand-dyed and crafted in Ireland.
