Skellig DK from Atlantic Coast Yarns draws its character from Ireland's dramatic Atlantic shores, combining 85% merino wool with 15% cotton for a yarn that balances warmth, breathability, and durability. Crafted in County Donegal, this premium double knitting yarn honours traditional Irish textile craftsmanship while delivering contemporary performance. The merino component provides gentle elasticity and sumptuous softness, whilst the cotton element contributes structural integrity and a refined, cool finish—particularly suited to pieces worn against the skin. Eight thoughtfully selected colourways echo the natural palette of Ireland's coastal landscape, from seafoam to slate. Skellig DK produces excellent stitch clarity and consistent results across sweaters, baby garments, and accessories, making it a discerning choice for knitters who value both heritage and quality.
