DROPS Soft Tweed

DROPS Soft Tweed

DROPS Soft Tweed is, like its name implies, a 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. Being a carded yarn means that it is lighter and breathes better than similar, combed yarns. It is specially suited for hand knitting.

We have had great success using this yarn for blankets and throws, it is lovely to crochet with and very quickly works up.
