Rowan Felted Tweed DK Yarn Scarlet 222 – Merino Alpaca Wool Tweed Knitting & Crochet Skein
ROWAN Felted Tweed DK Yarn – Scarlet (Ref. 222) – Merino Wool, Alpaca & Viscose – Perfect for Fair Isle, Colorwork & Lightweight Sweaters
Fall in love with one of Rowan’s most iconic yarns. Felted Tweed is a light DK weight yarn with a beautiful “felted” look and subtle tweedy flecks that add depth and character to every stitch. This Scarlet shade is a rich, warm red—ideal for cozy sweaters, colorwork yokes, shawls, hats, and scarves with a timeless, heritage feel.
The luxurious blend of merino wool, alpaca, and viscose creates a fabric that is soft yet slightly rustic, with lovely drape and stitch definition. It blocks beautifully, making it a dream for lace and Fair Isle, and works just as well in simple garter or stocking stitch for an effortlessly polished look. Whether you’re knitting classic cables, modern intarsia, or traditional stranded knitting, this yarn brings patterns to life.
