WHAT’S HER STORY?
DROPS Soft Tweed is, like its name implies, a super soft tweed yarn, made from a combination of merino wool, superfine alpaca and viscose. The yarn is constructed by carding these fibers together with small felted “tweed buttons” that add speckles of colour to define the look of this quality.
Made in EU
FAMOUS FOR…
Rustic and elegant, this yarn is easy to knit and results in beautiful, even stitches. A great choice for textured patterns, slipovers, sweaters and jackets – DROPS Soft Tweed is a great fit for all DK (double knitting) patterns (Yarn Group B).
Being a carded yarn means that DROPS Soft Tweed is lighter and breathes better than similar, combed yarns – while being specially suited for hand knitting.
