Rowan Felted Tweed Yarn – Seafarer 170 – Merino Alpaca DK Knitting Wool Skein

ROWAN Felted Tweed Seafarer (Ref. 170) is a classic DK-weight yarn with a soft, slightly rustic tweed look that’s perfect for timeless knits. The deep Seafarer shade is a rich, maritime navy scattered with subtle tweedy flecks—ideal for cosy sweaters, Fair Isle yokes, accessories, and lightweight jackets with a heritage feel.

This much-loved Rowan yarn combines warmth, softness, and structure thanks to its premium blend of merino wool, alpaca, and viscose. It knits and crochets into a beautifully drapey yet durable fabric that’s light to wear, blocks beautifully for lace, and delivers crisp stitch definition for texture and colourwork. Whether you’re making classic cables, modern colourwork, or simple stocking stitch, Felted Tweed adds depth and character to every project.
