Donegal Guide Sweater FAQ

What are the flecks of color in the yarn, and will they wash out?

The small, contrasting spots of color are a signature feature of Donegal-style yarn. These contrasting fibers are spun directly into the wool blend during the yarn-making process, meaning they are a permanent, structural part of the fabric and will never wash out or fade.

What is the purpose of the cotton twill patches on the forearms?

The woven cotton twill forearm patches are inspired by classic outdoor guide sweaters. They are strategically placed from the cuff to the elbow to protect these high-wear areas from rubbing, pilling, and fraying, significantly extending the lifespan of your sweater.

Is this wool-blend sweater itchy against bare skin?

Not at all. Unlike traditional, scratchy pure wool knits, this sweater is crafted from a specialized blend of 60% wool, 25% nylon, and 15% acrylic. The addition of nylon and acrylic fibers creates an incredibly soft, smooth hand feel that is comfortable even when worn over a short-sleeve tee.

Why is dry cleaning recommended for this sweater?

Because this garment combines a natural wool-blend knit with structured cotton twill patches, washing it in a machine can cause the different materials to shrink at uneven rates, warping the shape of the sleeves. Dry cleaning ensures both fabrics retain their original size, texture, and fit.
