Rowan Felted Tweed Yarn Ancient 172 – DK Weight Merino Alpaca Tweed Knitting & Crochet Yarn

ROWAN Felted Tweed DK – Merino Wool & Alpaca – Shade: Ancient (Ref. 172)

Bring classic British tweed style to your next project with Rowan Felted Tweed in the timeless shade “Ancient.” Soft, gently rustic, and beautifully heathered, this yarn is perfect for colorwork, textured stitches, and everyday knits you’ll reach for again and again.

The unique blend of merino, viscose, and alpaca creates a light, warm fabric with a subtle felted look and delicate tweedy flecks. It blocks beautifully for lace, gives crisp definition to Fair Isle and cables, and drapes softly in simple garter or stockinette.

Ideal for:
– Fair Isle and stranded colorwork
– Sweaters, cardigans, and vests
– Shawls, wraps, and scarves
– Lightweight but warm hats, mittens, and accessories
– Multi-color designs and intarsia
