Rowan Felted Tweed Yarn – Colours by Kaffe Fassett | Luxury Tweed Knitting Yarn
Rowan Felted Tweed – Colours by Kaffe Fassett is a heritage luxury wool, alpaca and viscose blend yarn, brought to life through a bold and expressive colour palette by world-renowned textile artist Kaffe Fassett.
This iconic Rowan yarn is spun in a lightweight DK weight and features a beautifully soft tweed texture. The blend of wool, alpaca and viscose creates a yarn that is warm, breathable and lightweight, with a soft drape and a refined finish.
The lightly felted construction gives the yarn its signature tweed effect, with subtle flecks that add depth and character to every stitch. The addition of viscose enhances drape, while alpaca contributes softness and warmth, making it ideal for garments worn close to the body.
The Kaffe Fassett colour collection transforms this classic yarn into a vibrant, artistic statement. Known globally for his use of colour, Kaffe Fassett’s palette makes this yarn perfect for colourwork, striping and standout knitwear.
Perfect for sweaters, cardigans, shawls and accessories, Felted Tweed remains one of Rowan’s most loved yarns, now elevated through a bold and contemporary colour story.
Direct Sewing Machines & Supplies is proud to bring Rowan yarns to New Zealand as part of our growing luxury knitting collection.
