ROWAN Felted Tweed “Astor” (Ref. 217) is a beautifully soft, lightly rustic yarn with a classic tweed look—perfect for knitters and crocheters who love timeless texture and rich, heathered color.

This premium blend of merino wool, alpaca, and viscose creates a lightweight yet warm fabric with a subtle felted effect. It blocks beautifully for lace, shows off Fair Isle and stranded colorwork, and gives stunning stitch definition in cables, garter, and simple stockinette. The gentle halo from the alpaca and the colorful tweedy flecks add depth and character to every project.

Whether you’re making cozy sweaters, cardigans, hats, scarves, mittens, shawls, or blankets, Felted Tweed “Astor” drapes softly, feels comfortable next to the skin, and wears well over time. Its DK weight makes it a versatile choice for everyday garments and special pieces alike—perfect for layering without adding bulk.
