Fall in love with Rowan Felted Tweed in “Barn Red” (Ref. 196) – a warm, rustic red flecked with subtle tweedy tones that add beautiful depth to every stitch. This yarn is a favorite worldwide for good reason: it’s soft, light, and full of character, perfect for garments and accessories you’ll reach for again and again.
The unique blend of fibers gives you the best of all worlds:
• 50% Merino Wool – softness, warmth, and bounce
• 25% Viscose – gentle drape and a smooth hand
• 25% Alpaca Wool – a slight halo and cosy luxe feel
Its light DK weight and tweed effect make it ideal for:
• Fair Isle and stranded colorwork
• Cables and textured stitches
• Lace shawls and wraps
• Everyday sweaters, vests, hats, cowls, and mitts
Knitters love how Felted Tweed “blooms” after washing, creating a soft-focus, gently felted look that smooths your stitches and gives projects a timeless, woolly charm. It’s wonderfully blockable, wears well, and has that classic British tweed vibe—slightly rustic yet surprisingly soft, thanks to the merino and alpaca.
