We love Rowan’s Felted Tweed yarn. It has been in the store since the day it was introduced and has always been one of our best selling yarns.
I have a bag of Felted Tweed in the colour 194 Delft that we are going to give away to one lucky customer. The contest is open to anyone in Canada and the US. We will ship it if you live out of town.
Ask any Rowan fan for their favourite 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 50+ colours 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 cosy, 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!
Here are a few Felted Tweed pattern suggestions. There will be more Felted Tweed patterns coming from Rowan this fall.
We have Calypso hanging in the store. The sweater is knit with Felted Tweed for the body and Dyed in the Wool for the colourwork. You have many options for the colourwork if you don’t want to use Dyed in the Wool. The pattern is available on Ravelry.This is the Churchmouse Yarns Easy Fold Poncho. The pattern is available on Ravelry.This vest is from the book Mode 4 Projects - Felted Tweed and is called Gianna. The Frozen Wrap and Camel Sweater are from Rowan’s Felted Tweed 4 Projects book.
