Description
Báinín, the Irish word for undyed white yarn, has been prized for centuries; crafting with it connects makers to an authentic, traditional Irish material.
Our 100% worsted Báinín yarn is sourced from the rare and historic Galway sheep breed, the original wool used to knit the iconic Aran geansaí (sweater), offers a unique combination of heritage, sustainability, and high-quality fibre properties. This natural and sustainable fibre is locally sourced and eco-friendly, supporting sustainable farming. The yarn has a robust, slightly coarse texture, making it ideal for hardwearing garments and home textiles. It has excellent stitch definition, making it perfect for textured knits such as cables and Aran stitches. Additionally, the Báinín yarn is breathable and moisture-wicking, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. It’s also naturally hypoallergenic & antibacterial, and resistant to dust mites and bacteria, making it a great choice for those who suffer from allergies.
