“Donegal Effect” yarns have been imitated with various degrees of success by Companies worldwide. Donegal yarns has been concerned for sometime by the use of inferior wools containing non natural (acrylic etc) fibres with poor attachment of the fleck.

A Genuine “Donegal” should contain 100% wool, spun using the traditional woollen spun method, resulting in a homespun yarn of superior quality and whose flecks are permanently attached and shall not fall out even after several years of wear.

The Donegal Yarns Certificate of Origin is attached to products which contain only original Donegal Effect yarn which has been produced form raw wool at our mill here in Kilcar, Co. Donegal.

It is your Guarantee that the Donegal yarn used in any such product is a genuine, original and quality “Donegal” produced by the crafts people of Kilcar as they have for generations.
