And there I was thinking the Donegal tweed on the balmacaan took the (very knobbly) biscuit this year for most textured material ...
It's actually quite unique, because there's both more colour / shade variation on a micro and a macro level, than almost anything else we can lay our hands on. The yarn itself is marbled, and then it is twisted with two other complementary colours of also-marbled yarn, and then tuck-stitched so chunkily that there are little random patterns and contrasts all over the place.
I hope to have the crewnecks (which is what these are) online over the weekend. Quite a few have already been spoken for, especially in the smaller sizes, which is about the third time this has happened since the summer. a) we made less than usual because 2020 is a horrible year, but b) sizes XS and S have outstripped all others of late (we used to sell equal numbers of XS and XL, but the scales have tipped hugely to the XS).
