A wonderful summer tweed yarn for all those who love the typical British look. The cotton used here is especially soft and silky. The subtle tweed effect creates a great stitch definition in plein as well as a structural or ajours patterns. All Gossypium Cotton Patterns can be used for the Tweed version.
