Donegal Yarns.

Donegal Yarns at Jeanstore celebrates a rich Irish knitting tradition rooted in the town of Glenties on Ireland’s North West coast. Surrounded by the Bluestack mountains, Glenties has long been associated with sock and knitwear manufacture, with generations of local makers helping to shape a craft that is deeply tied to the area.

That tradition continues through Donegal Hosiery, where the Breslin family are the third generation working to preserve the skills passed down by those before them. At a time when many traditional methods have disappeared, the brand remains committed to keeping local sock making alive, producing pieces with genuine heritage, care and regional character.

The colours and textures of Donegal itself run through the collection, inspired by rugged mountains, open moorland, wild seas and blue skies. Each pair reflects a proud connection to place, craft and history, combining everyday comfort with the lasting appeal of traditional Irish manufacture.

Our Donegal Yarns collection offers socks with depth, warmth and authenticity, made for those who appreciate natural character, careful making and the quiet value of keeping tradition alive.

Donegal Yarns Accessories

Donegal Yarns at Jeanstore

Donegal Yarns is rooted in the long knitting tradition of Glenties, a town on the north west coast of Ireland with a deep connection to sock and knitwear manufacture. Surrounded by the Bluestack mountains, the area has long been associated with skilled hosiery production, and that heritage still shapes the brand today. With the Breslin family continuing a third-generation business, Donegal Yarns carries forward traditional skills that have become increasingly rare, preserving a craft that remains closely tied to its place of origin.

That sense of landscape and history runs through the collection itself. Inspired by the rugged colours of mountain, moor, sea and sky, the brand brings a distinctly Irish character to its knitwear and accessories. There is a warmth and texture to the range that feels both practical and full of character, with each piece reflecting a clear pride in local making and long-standing craftsmanship.

Our Donegal Yarns collection includes the socks the brand is best known for, alongside accessories such as hats and other knitted essentials that carry the same sense of tradition and quality. Expect richly coloured yarns, comfortable knitted textures and everyday pieces designed with warmth, durability and understated character in mind. This is a collection built around Irish-made essentials with genuine heritage, offering knitwear and accessories that feel honest, useful and closely connected to the landscape that inspired them.
