Rowan Felted Tweed

Ask any Rowan fan for their favorite yarn and there's a good chance it'll be Felted Tweed. Spun in a light DK weight, with a beautiful tweed effect and an amazing 40 colors to choose from, it's a Fair Isle knitter's dream. But that's not all. The magical combination of 50% lightly-felted wool, 25% viscose and 25% alpaca makes it supremely blockable and a gorgeous option for lacework as a result. Or knit it in garter stitch for a drapey, squishable fabric that is cozy, but light and easy to wear. Choose from nature-inspired shades ranging from cool watery tones to warming cherry red and fiery ginger and prepare to fall in love! Now available in special colorways chosen by world-renowned designers Kaffe Fassett and Dee Hardwicke.

Dee Hardwicke has collaborated with Rowan to create 4 brand new shades in her favorite yarn, Felted Tweed. This stunning amalgamation of 50% wool, 25% viscose and 25% alpaca would knit perfectly in patterns from Dee Hardwicke’s new Seasonal Color Palette Book.
