Does anyone out there know if Donegal Tweed and Turnberry Tweed are close in weight? I've seen Donegal Tweed listed as both a worsted or a DK, and Turnberry listed as an Aran, but those are from different sources.

Carodan Farm, one of my favorite on-line yarn sources, has Donegal Tweed for a good price.

I want very much to make the "Bookworm Vest" in "Folk Vests" and I'd order the Donegal right away if I had some assurance I wouldn't have to play swatch bingo and wind up knitting it on huge needles (and getting too loose of a fabric) to get gauge.

I know, I know, I could order one skein and play with it, but it's on sale *now*...

I also love the "celtic braids" vest out of that book and plan to make it when I get in the mood for colorwork again. And steeking. most of the vests in there have steeks, which I have never done.
