Beara by Hey Mama Wolf – A Yarn as Mystical and Powerful as the Nature of Ireland!
| Quantity: | 10 |
Introducing Beara — the latest yarn to join the Hey Mama Wolf family, and the brand’s very first tweed!
Lovingly spun in Ireland, Beara is a classic woollen-spun 2-ply tweed crafted from a thoughtful blend of 70% Irish Wool and 30% UK Alpaca. The result? A beautifully textured yarn with just the right balance of rustic charm and soft luxury.
Available in a palette of solid and marled shades, Beara is perfect for playful colour blocking, bold stripes, or adding subtle contrast to cuffs and button bands.
Spun at the renowned Heritage Donegal mill, Beara not only celebrates traditional yarn-making techniques but also supports local sheep farms across Ireland. Small farms, in particular, often struggle to bring their wool to market profitably. That’s why Beara blends wool from different breeds, supporting local shepherds and preserving Ireland’s rich wool heritage.
Whether you're knitting cozy garments or timeless accessories, Beara brings heritage, heart, and a touch of tweedy magic to every stitch.
The namesake of this yarn, "Cailleach Bhéarra" or the "Hag of Beara," is a figure from Irish mythology and folklore. She is often depicted as an ancient, powerful goddess or wise woman, deeply connected to the Irish landscape and the cycles of nature. We’re pretty sure she knows a thing or two about sheep and wool!
