Rowan Felted Tweed French Mustard 216 DK Yarn – Merino Wool Alpaca Knitting & Crochet Skein

ROWAN Felted Tweed in French Mustard (Ref. 216) is a classic, softly rustic yarn with a beautiful flecked texture and subtle “felted” look—perfect for garments and accessories you’ll wear for years.

This light DK-weight yarn combines the warmth and structure of merino wool with the softness and gentle halo of alpaca, plus viscose for drape and stitch definition. The result is a fabric that feels light yet cosy, blocks beautifully, and shows off everything from simple stocking stitch to intricate Fair Isle.

French Mustard is a rich, warm golden-mustard shade with characteristic tweedy flecks—ideal for autumnal sweaters, cardigans, scarves, cowls, hats, and colourwork. It pairs wonderfully with other Felted Tweed shades and can also be held together with a silk-mohair yarn for extra softness and fluff.
