Donegal Tweed is one of Ireland's most distinctive textile traditions. Associated with County Donegal in Ireland's northwest, it is especially recognizable for the colorful flecks, or "nepps," scattered throughout the yarn.
These contrasting flecks give Donegal Tweed its characteristic speckled appearance and add depth and personality to the natural wool. The tradition reflects Donegal's long history of working with locally inspired woolen textiles and the region's strong connection to handcraft.
This scarf celebrates that heritage by allowing the colorful nepps to become the central feature of the design.
