DROPS Soft Tweed is a super soft tweed yarn, made from a combination of merinowool, superfine alpaca and viscose. The yarn is constructed by carding these fibers together with small felted “tweed knots” that add speckles of color to define the appearance of this quality. Rustic and elegant, this yarn is easy to knit and results in beautiful, even stitches. A great choice for textured patterns, slippers, sweaters and jackets. Because it is a carded yarn DROPS Soft Tweed lighter and more breathable than comparable combed yarns – while being especially suitable for hand knitting.
