How the yarn behaves

DROPS Soft Tweed is a carded tweed yarn blending wool, superfine alpaca and viscose, finished with small felted tweed buttons that add colourful flecks across the surface. The carded construction gives it a soft, lofty hand, good breathability and a rustic but elegant look that is tailor-made for hand knitting. It suits warm sweaters, cardigans, hats, mittens, scarves and blankets, and it crochets nicely too. Stitches are clean and even, making cables and texture look lovely. Care: hand wash cool with mild wool detergent and dry flat to protect the tweed flecks and preserve loft and shape over time.
