DROPS Soft Tweed is a super-soft tweed yarn made from a blend of merino yarn , superfine alpaca, and viscose. The yarn is made by carding these fibers together with small felted "tweed buttons" that add touches of color to define the look of this quality.
It's a rustic and elegant yarn, and easy to knit (you get crisp, even stitches). It's a great choice for textured patterns, vests, sweaters, and jackets. As a group B yarn, it can be used for patterns designed in DROPS Karisma, DROPS Lima, or DROPS Merino Extra Fine.
Being a carded yarn, DROPS Soft Tweed is lighter and allows the skin to breathe better than similar worsted yarns, and the carding also makes it particularly suitable for hand knitting.
Made in the EU.
