Candy Floss Felted Tweed 221 by Rowan – Merino Alpaca DK Tweed Yarn, Soft Pink Wool Blend for Knitting & Crochet

Soft, dreamy, and irresistibly tweedy—this Rowan Felted Tweed yarn in shade “Candy Floss” (Ref. 221) is perfect for creating heirloom-quality knits with a gentle, slightly rustic look and a beautifully soft feel.

Blending merino wool and alpaca with viscose, this light DK-weight yarn knits into a fabric with subtle, tweedy flecks and a delicate “felted” effect. It’s wonderfully versatile: ideal for Fair Isle and stranded colourwork, lace, cables, and simple stocking stitch alike. The yarn blocks beautifully, giving your stitches definition while still keeping garments light, warm, and drapey.

Candy Floss is a soft, romantic pink with tonal depth and characteristic tweed flecks—perfect for cosy sweaters, cardigans, shawls, hats, mittens, and children’s knits with a touch of vintage charm.
