EILIS Vest Pattern Bundle in Donegal Tweed+ by LANGYARNS | Punto 87-023

EILIS Knitted Vest made in DONEGAL TWEED+ by LANGYARNS

EILIS is a knitted vest worked in DONEGAL TWEED+ by LANGYARNS, a yarn made from 100% virgin wool (mulesing free) and spun and dyed in the traditional Donegal region of Ireland.

DONEGAL TWEED+ is defined by its bold, colourful neps and robust tweed character. Retaining a small amount of natural spinning oil, the yarn undergoes a notable transformation once knitted and washed: the fabric blooms, gains volume, and softens beautifully, enhancing both warmth and comfort.

Unlike DONEGAL WOOLEN SPUN, which features delicately blended colour tones and a loftier structure, LANGYARNS DONEGAL TWEED+ celebrates classic tweed texture and visual contrast. In EILIS, this creates a vest with depth, structure, and a distinctly traditional feel within the Punto 87 collection.

This bundle brings together the correct LANGYARNS yarn quantity for your chosen size, along with the relevant printed pattern magazine.

Yarn & materials

EILIS is worked in DONEGAL TWEED+ by LANGYARNS. The tweed structure provides warmth and durability, while the colourful neps add movement and character to the fabric. As with traditional Donegal tweeds, the yarn retains a little natural spinning oil; after the first wash, the vest softens, blooms, and reveals its full depth and texture.

Suitable for wool washing, but without softener – see yarn band for details.
