Great news! There’s a new yarn entering the DROPS assortment - DROPS Soft Tweed! As its name implies, DROPS Soft Tweed is 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. 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. 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. Available in 18 lovely colours, DROPS Soft Tweed belongs to Yarn Group B and is a great fit for patterns designed in DROPS Karisma, DROPS Lima and DROPS Merino Extra Fine. Made in EU 50g 130m Knitting tension: 10 x 10 cm = 21 sts x 28 rows Hand Wash, max 30°C / Dry Flat / Feltable
