DROPS Soft Tweed is, like its name implies, a super soft tweed yarn, made from a combination of merino wool, superfine alpaca and viscose. The yarn is constructed by carding these fibers together with small felted “tweed buttons” that add speckles of colour to define the look of this quality.
Made in EU
Rustic and elegant, this yarn is easy to knit and results in beautiful, even stitches. A great choice for textured patterns, slipovers, sweaters and jackets – DROPS Soft Tweed is a great fit for all DK (double knitting) patterns (Yarn Group B).
Being a carded yarn means that DROPS Soft Tweed is lighter and breathes better than similar, combed yarns – while being specially suited for hand knitting.

It all started with the memory of the sweaters my grandma made for me when I was a child. They are not just sweaters, they are her loving touch in every stitch.
One day I picked up a pair of knitting needles and a ball of yarn and everything fell into place.
Love is an action, love is patience and I’m at my happiest when I have a new project in mind.
When I see the spark in my mother’s eyes when she strokes the blanket I made for her or the excitement on my son's face when he wakes up to a new hat and scarf set and the pride when he shows them off to everyone saying “mummy made them for me!”.. this makes my enjoyment in creating and making even more meaningful.
My passion for creating led to my passion in yarn, and I want to share that with you. It brings me joy knowing that I have inspired the creations that will be enjoyed by you and your loved ones for a long time.
I brought together a thoughtfully selected collection of natural fibre yarn. Every single one was tested over and over to earn its place in my store. You will only find the best yarn here, that’s a promise.
I’m blessed to be surrounded by this wonderful maker community. I am amazed and awed by your creations and your support has allowed me to be a present mother in my young son's life. For that I am eternally grateful.
Love,
Dan xx
