Gossypium Cotton Tweed
A word from the designer:
A wonderful summer tweed yarn for all those who love the typical British look. The Egyptian cotton used here is especially soft and silky. The subtle tweed effect creates a great stitch definition in plain as well as a structural or ajours pattern. All Gossypium Cotton Patterns can be used for the Tweed version.
The yarn is spun in Italy. The dyes used are free of animal derivatives, so that this yarn can be called truly vegan.

Our Opinion
Finally, a vegan tweed!
And it comes in such pretty colours, so delightfully British. This yarn knits like any soft cotton; fast, smooth and pretty. Stitch definition is great, the colours stay gorgeous even after multiple washes.
I made an autumn sweater and it has quickly become a favourite garment to throw on. The tweed yarn is versatile enough to look great on jeans but dressed up too with a jacket.
