Pintail - Winter Fog

Pintail is a 3-ply, Aran-weight yarn is spun and dyed in Donegal, Ireland, a region celebrated for its rich textile heritage, and made into skeins in Switzerland by Flock & Friends.

Named after the Pintail (a large, sleek duck that visits Irish wetlands each winter) this yarn reflects the bird's crisp elegance and distinctive charm. Much like the bird's smooth, classic plumage, Pintail is spun without speckles, offering a clean, solid finish that lets pure stitch patterns and natural depth shine.

Composed of 100% wool, Pintail delivers exceptional warmth, structure, and endurance. Its 3-ply construction creates a plump, rounded thread with outstanding stitch definition, making it the perfect choice for cosy winter sweaters, bold cable knits, structured jackets, and hard-wearing accessories built to withstand the elements.

Its classic Aran weight works up satisfyingly fast, making it an absolute joy on the needles. Whether you are crafting traditional modern heirlooms or everyday winter staples, Pintail provides the reliable quality and authentic feel that only traditional Donegal spinning can offer.

Authentic, robust, and timelessly elegant. This is wool made for cold days and lasting warmth.

At Flock & Friends, we care deeply about animal welfare. All of our yarns are certified mulesing-free.
