ROWAN Felted Tweed DK Yarn – Duck Egg (Ref. 173)
Soft, lightly rustic, and beautifully tweedy, Rowan Felted Tweed is a dream yarn for garments and accessories that look timeless but feel modern and light. Duck Egg (173) is a delicate, misty blue-green with subtle tweedy flecks that add depth and interest to every stitch—perfect for cozy sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and colorwork.
This much-loved Rowan classic has a gently felted look and a fine DK weight, making it ideal for Fair Isle, textured stitches, and lace. It blocks beautifully, drapes softly, and creates a warm but lightweight fabric you’ll want to wear every day.
