Practical enough for the campfire and cozy enough for the couch, Woodland Tweed is a merino-alpaca blend that strikes a fine balance between rustic and refined. With just enough alpaca to take best advantage of that downy fiber’s warmth and softness, this largely Merino yarn is warm enough for woodland winters and soft enough to wear against the skin. Gently spun into a loose twist, the downy fibers are given enough play to provide both thermal efficiency and flattering drape, while still maintaining the structure necessary for excellent stitch definition and durability.

Lightly tweedy, neutrally-colored viscose neps are just present enough to create a subtly rustic look in every colorway. Because of its high Merino content, Woodland Tweed makes bouncy cables and textured stitch patterns that pop, and paired with its woodsy color palette, it’s a great choice for cabled pullovers and gansey sweaters, whether your taste is cottagecore or classic! As well as being perfect for warm sweaters and garments of all sorts, this versatile yarn is also soft enough for accessories worn against the skin.
