Folklore Yarns is a bricks and mortar yarn shop in East Belfast lovingly owned by Karen and Kirsty for the last 6 years. Their ethos is ‘local and natural where possible.’ We aim to stock yarns that support local industry and farmers. We specialise in Donegal Tweed and have a very strong relationship with Donegal Yarns. We have 3 of our own ranges of Donegal Tweed which we will bring to this special ‘Director’s Cut’ edition of The Scottish Yarn Festival. First of all we have our Traditions Range – a pure wool aran weight yarn. It’s a beautiful traditional yarn that has been used to make Aran sweaters for years and is available in over 30 colours. Next is our cosy Faerie Folk yarn – a soft merino mohair blend DK weight available in 15 colours all based around natural woodland. Finally we have our sport weight Banbha (pronounced Ban-va) – a merino silk cashmere blend with more subtle flecks.
