Dooish is a sturdy rustic worsted weight tweed perfect for outer garments to keep the winter cold out. Whatever you make from this beautiful yarn will see you through season after season.... a future heirloom. Flecks of colour are dotted throughout the yarn giving beautiful depth to your finished projects. It has a rustic but soft handle, and would be a beautiful substitute for Brooklyn Tweed Shelter.
This yarn is 'in the oil' meaning the final milling process of scouring the spun yarn was bypassed. This process uses an immense amount of water to make the yarn look polished, so leaving it in the oil means that all the water is saved, especially as we repeat the process when you block your finished project. On blocking the yarn blooms, softens and takes on the loveliest appearance. If you don't like the feel you are free to wash the skeins prior to use.
In the oil is also more suitable for machine knitters and handweavers helping lubricate as you work.

hard-going on my hands
By: Susan Busatto on 9 February 2022I find this yarn to be a bit of a challenge on my hands. I gave each hank a good wash to remove as much oil as possible and found that the yarn bloomed a bit - which is quite nice, however, I think it knits up more like a heavy aran. I'm hoping it softens significantly when I give the garment another blocking wash.

Dooish Shrug
By: joanne Brown on 12 October 2021I was gifted a Donagel Tweed skein bought for me on a friends trip to Ireland. I matched it with three different Dooish shades and made a granny square shrug. It handles quiet coarsely but the oil infused feel of the yarn takes you straight back to exactly where it came from, off the sheep's back, it also makes your hands soft while you working it up. I washed it as directed by Skein Sisters in a good quality wool wash, and after washing it, I can say it is truly come up a treat, so snugly and soft and the colours have become even more beautiful. so very happy with this yarn.

Fabulous Dooish Yarn
By: Barbara Radzevicius on 2 July 2021I recently purchased 10 skeins of this beautiful Dooish yarn from Skein Sisters in Sydney, and I love knitting with it so much, I'm purchasing another 10 in another colour.

Dooish (Worsted/10 ply)
By: Jane on 15 July 2020I bought three skeins to make a cabled cowl in Mist Green and recieved my order promptly. The wool was lovely to work with, did not split and there were no joins in any of the skeins. It's come up beautifully soft and plump after washing to remove the final oil. Very happy. Thank you, Skein Sisters!
