Rowan Felted Tweed DK – Amethyst (Ref. 192)

Fall in love with Rowan’s iconic Felted Tweed yarn in the rich, heathered shade “Amethyst” – a soft, tweedy purple flecked with subtle tones that add depth and character to every stitch. This is the go-to yarn for timeless sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and accessories with that classic, slightly rustic look and modern, easy-to-wear feel.

Spun in a light DK weight, Felted Tweed is a dream to knit and crochet. Its unique blend of merino wool, viscose, and alpaca creates a fabric that is warm yet lightweight, drapey but structured, and beautifully blockable. It’s perfect for Fair Isle and stranded colourwork, textured stitches, lace patterns, and simple stocking stitch alike.

Use it for:
• Fair Isle sweaters and yokes
• Cozy cardigans and layering pieces
• Wraps, shawls, and scarves with gorgeous drape
• Hats, mittens, and accessories with subtle tweed charm
• Colourwork projects and multi-shade designs

Colour:
• Amethyst – a deep, sophisticated purple with tweedy flecks that give a soft, “felted” look once knitted
