Introducing Fine Australian Tweed.
If you love the look of tweedy yarns but don't like the scratchy feel, this is the perfect yarn for you! Made using extrafine Australian merino with viscose to create the tweed effect, Fine Australian Tweed is lusciously soft and perfect to wear next to your skin. It has that buttery feel of merino that we all know and love plus the added interest of the gorgeous little flecks of colour.
There are 13 shades all inspired by nature, from bright Savvy Red to the subtle tones of Duck Egg and beautiful naturals such as Stone.
This yarn has a wide gauge range due to its lofty spin, so it can be worked as an 8ply/DK weight on 4mm needles as well as up to a 10ply/worsted weight on 5.5mm needles. It has had a light superwash treatment so that it can be machine washed on a delicate/wool cycle in a washing bag.
With great stitch definition, it's lovely in cables and aran-style designs. Think jumpers, cardigans, and accessories such as beanies, cowls and scarves.
