Felted Tweed has been a Rowan staple for decades, and it earns that status. The blend of wool, alpaca, and viscose produces a yarn with genuine complexity: the tweed flecks give each colour depth that solid yarns can't replicate, while the alpaca softens what could otherwise be a rustic fabric into something comfortable against the skin. The viscose adds a subtle drape and sheen that keeps it from feeling heavy. It sits between sport and DK weight, making it versatile for both garments and accessories. Not superwash treated; hand wash and dry flat.
bold, dramatic, and happiest in the spotlight
Felted tweed is a yarn that we would categorize as a diva. Some yarns are happy to support the pattern. This one prefers to be the star. Diva yarns bring luxurious fibres, bold colours, and textures that practically demand attention: perfect when you want your project to make an entrance.
Divas shine brightest when they’re given room to perform. Simple stitches and minimal colourwork let their character take the spotlight. They can handle more complicated patterns but rarely need them. Swatch carefully and follow laundering instructions to keep your star in top form.
