Rowan Felted Tweed Yarn – Light DK Wool & Alpaca Tweed (50g)

Rowan Felted Tweed is one of Rowan’s signature yarns, loved for its soft, slightly rustic texture and distinctive flecked tweed appearance. Spun from a blend of wool, alpaca, and viscose, this light DK yarn creates a lightweight fabric with warmth, softness, and beautiful depth of color. An exceptional choice for Fair Isle, stranded colorwork, sweaters, cardigans, accessories, and textured knitting, Felted Tweed works especially well when combining multiple shades. Its slightly brushed character softens stitch transitions in colorwork while still providing enough definition for cables, lace, and other detailed patterns. The finished fabric is cozy without feeling overly heavy, making it an excellent yarn for garments intended to be worn frequently. With Rowan’s unusually broad Felted Tweed color palette, it is particularly well suited to projects that depend on nuanced color combinations and tonal variation.
