Rowan Felted Tweed
Ask any Rowan fan to name their favourite yarn, and chances are you’ll hear Felted Tweed. This iconic DK‑weight yarn is loved for its delicate tweed texture, lightness, and remarkable versatility. Spun from a magical blend of lightly‑felted wool, alpaca, and viscose, it produces a soft, airy fabric that blocks beautifully — making it a dream for Fair Isle and stranded colourwork.
But this yarn is far more than a colourwork staple. Knit it in simple garter stitch for a drapey, cosy fabric that feels warm without being heavy, or explore its potential in lacework, where the fibre blend provides exceptional definition and softness. The nature‑inspired palette offers everything from cool watery shades to rich reds and warm gingers, and the Kaffe Fassett special colourways add even more artistic flair.
Whether you’re creating timeless garments, textured layers, or intricate colourwork, prepare to fall in love with Rowan Felted Tweed — a modern classic with endless creative possibilities.
