  • Description
  • Reviews

PLEASE NOTE: Dooish is not available for immediate store pick up. You can see the yarn in all colours plus knitted samples in store but we do not hold stock in store. We will be receiving a shipment of stock twice a week and will advise you as soon as it is available to be picked up.

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.

  • 10ply/worsted weight
  • 100% new wool 
  • 200m / 222yds per 100g skein - washed
  • Needle sizes: 3.25mm-5mm
  • Gauge: 17-20 sts to 10cm
  • Care: Handwash with love in a quality wool wash and hot water that you're still able to put your hand into, dry flat and watch the yarn bloom!

Produced in Ireland by Studio Donegal.

hard-going on my hands

By: Susan Busatto on 9 February 2022
I 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 2021
I 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 2021
I 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 2020
I 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!
