At Convent & Chapel Wool Shop we understand the personal nature of the crafting process. You are creating something unique incorporating your technical skills, artistic talents and personal taste. Fibre projects are a personal expression, a relaxation and even an obsession. They’re always an achievement.

Your skill and time deserves yarn that is also authentic and individual, that has it’s own story to tell. That’s why at Convent & Chapel Wool Shop we focus on yarns made or dyed by talented artisans to complement your process and creations.

We are excited to introduce our new Convent Donegal Tweed. Donegal Tweed has its own unique color, beauty, and quality. The process of making it is also unique, resulting in a signature color-flecked weave.

Situated in Ireland, our Convent Donegal Tweed spinning mill can trace its origin back to the centuries old tradition of tweed effect yarns domestically spun in Donegal.

These yarns came onto world markets over a hundred years ago and gave their name to the internationally famous ‘Donegal Tweed’ woven fabric and knitwear.

The company we source our yarn from operates a vertical production process from raw wool, including the dying, blending, carding and spinning, to a finished multi-coloured fleck yarn targeted at the weaving, knitting and craft industry.

All production is carried out in their mill in Donegal, Ireland. Only natural fibres are used and sourced from the finest wools from New Zealand, Australia and other international sources of quality fibre.

Convent & Chapel Wool Shop is proud to offer our customers authentic Irish Tweeds – Convent Donegal Tweed, a 10ply Aran weight of 100% pure new wool, as well as Convent Irish Tweed, an 8ply/DK weight of 70% Merino and 30% Mohair. Both come in a great range of approximately 20 colours at an accessible price. Wound into easy ready-to-use 100g balls and in some cases, on the cone.

Choose the dark and brooding Colin Farrell or maybe a deep red Bram Stoker.  Perfect for scarves, beanies, garments, blankets and throws. Perfect for colour work or on their own. Great allrounders giving you an authentic rustic creation of your own.
