Made using extrafine Australian merino with nylon to create the tweed effect, Australian Tweed is lusciously soft and wonderful for all kinds of projects. It has the buttery feel of merino that we all know and love plus the added interest of the gorgeous little flecks of colour.

This yarn has a lofty spin, and can be worked as an 8ply/DK weight on 4-4.5mm needles.
