Rowan Felted Tweed is a wonderful, tweedy DK yarn in a beautiful blend of merino wool, alpaca and viscose. The rustic colour palette makes this yarn perfect for Fair Isle stranded work, striping and other colourwork.
This is a lightly pre-felted yarn that knits to a lightweight fabric with a felted effect. Please follow care instructions to avoid further felting.
