Donegal (fabric)
Donegal tweed
Donegal is a porous carded yarn fabric similar to hand fabric in a cloth weave . Sometimes the term Donegal, named after Ireland's northernmost County Donegal, is also used for knitted fabrics with a similar surface appearance.
The fabric assigned to the home spun fabrics is heavily interspersed with (colored) knobs, with clear differences in the color value of the warp thread and weft thread . The fine and somewhat more evenly spun warp thread is lighter than the full, unevenly spun weft. The tissue image is intentionally restless.
