Felted Tweed Soft

Another new yarn from Rowan for fall is called Alpaca Tweed Soft.

64% Wool
20% Nylon
8% Alpaca
8% Viscose

16 stitches and 24 rows = 4” on a 5.5mm needle
140m on a 50 gram ball

The yarn will knit to a heavy aran/light chunky weight but it isn’t heavy.


A few of the sweaters are knit top down which is relatively new for Rowan.

This sweater is called Jupiter and is another pattern for Mode at Rowan Colourmix. Somehow it wasn’t in my shipment but you can purchase the pattern on Ravelry. This looks like a cozy sweater for today’s weather. It is cooler and rainy in Ancaster.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I’m writing early before heading home. Then I can put my feet up and knit. Or maybe have a nap.
