Felted Tweed is a blend of merino wool, alpaca and viscose. The yarn has a beautiful tweed effect perfect for fairisles, striping and other colour work, and the rustic colour palette makes this yarn a firm favourite with designers.
The design team at Rowan have created numerous patterns in Felted Tweed DK which we have collected into a bundle for you to view here on Ravelry. We have also collected some of our favourite designs by independent designers for your inspiration here on Ravelry.
*Please note, this is a lightly pre-felted yarn that knits to a lightweight fabric with a felted effect. Please follow care instructions, as the yarn may felt further if washed incorrectly.

felted tweed
if you are ordering online just by colour, be advised this is a very thin DK, quite lacy on 4mm, and is a bit hairy. Can't see the felted look yet, only done about 6". nonetheless, it seems a nice summer weight wool, which is what I was looking for.
