Galway Worsted is a 100% wool worsted-weight yarn from Plymouth Yarn, sold in 100-gram skeins with 210 yards each. It knits at 20 stitches to 4 inches on US 8 (5mm) needles, a standard worsted gauge that works for sweaters, hats, mittens and colorwork. The solid wool takes dye evenly and comes in many shades, which makes it a practical pick for fair isle and intarsia. Compared with superwash worsted wools, it needs hand washing and flat drying, but the untreated wool gives good stitch definition and warmth. Knitters rate it highly, and the main trade-off is care rather than performance.
