When felted, the tweed bits shrink just enough to give the finished fabric colorful flecks and visual interest, without being overwhelming.

Comments about Cascade Yarns 128 Tweed:
I knitted a garter stitch throw blanket in Delphinium Blue using two strands. It was quick to knit and the result is a cozy, warm throw with lovely stitch definition.

Comments about Cascade Yarns 128 Tweed:
Making Wrapped Pullover. The colors I ordered (black and midnight blue) are lovely. The yarn knits up beautifully and is very soft for wool. Great stitch definition and survived repeated ripping and reknitting on a section right on the front with no appararent ill-effects. Spit-splices (well, I use Purell as "spit")perfectly. One tiny knot in the 7 skeins I knitted up so far.

Comments about Cascade Yarns 128 Tweed:
I made a baby sweater and ruffled brim hat as a gift. I was so thrilled with how easy the yarn was to work with and how beautiful the finished product came out that I didn't want to part with it. I used the purple tweed and loved everything about it. It is very soft and pleasing to the eye as a finished product.
