Rico Creative Make it Tweed

Rico Creative Make it Tweed is what's called a carry-along yarn — and if you've never used one, you're in for a treat. The idea is beautifully simple: you hold this fine lace-weight strand alongside whatever base yarn you're already working with (DK, aran, fingering — genuinely anything), and it weaves little bursts of colour and texture through your fabric as you go. The result? A gorgeous, custom tweed effect without having to hunt down a specific tweed yarn. You're basically mixing your own. It's one of those clever little additions that completely changes the character of a project. A plain DK jumper suddenly has depth. A simple hat looks handspun. A blanket feels heirloom. And because you're pairing it with a yarn you already love, you get to control the mood — subtle and tonal, or bold and punchy. Your call.
