Inspired by the wild beauty of Ireland’s Atlantic coastline, Skellig Double Knitting from Atlantic Coast Yarns is a beautifully balanced blend of 85% merino wool and 15% cotton, offering the perfect combination of softness, warmth, and breathability.
Spun in County Donegal, Ireland, this premium DK yarn reflects generations of textile heritage, delivering exceptional quality and a natural feel that’s a pleasure to work with and wear. The merino provides gentle elasticity and luxurious softness, while the touch of cotton adds strength and a cool, smooth handle—ideal for garments and accessories worn close to the skin.
Available in 8 carefully curated shades, Skellig DK captures the subtle tones of sea, sky, and stone along Ireland’s rugged coast, making it perfect for timeless knits with a modern edge.
Whether you’re creating cosy sweaters, delicate baby knits, or stylish accessories, Skellig Double Knitting offers beautiful stitch definition and reliable performance for every project.
