ROWAN Felted Tweed Yarn – Iris (Ref. 201)
Merino Wool, Alpaca & Viscose – Light DK Weight
Beautiful, soft, and lightly rustic, Rowan Felted Tweed is a dream yarn for colorwork, texture, and everyday knits. The shade “Iris” (Ref. 201) is a nature-inspired, tweedy colorway with subtle flecks that give your finished pieces a timeless, heirloom look.
Use it for Fair Isle sweaters, cardigans, shawls, hats, scarves, and cozy yet lightweight garments. The unique fiber blend and delicate “felted” effect create a soft-focus fabric that blocks beautifully and shows off lace, cables, and simple stocking stitch alike.
