Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok Tweed
| Availability: | In stock (13) |
Woolstok Tweed is part of the Woolstok family – the worsted weight workhorse our community has grown to love. It is a 4-ply Aran weight yarn with neutral flecks. From Blue Sky:
Inspiration was pulled from the original Woolstok palette, and the colors are inspired by the natural landscape. The fourteen colors of Woolstok Tweed are earthy with neutral flecks and offer endless color combinations to suit every taste. Made from a blend of 85% Fine Highland Wool and 15% Donegal, Woolstok Tweed has an overall muted tone with accents of speckled texture due to the delicate Donegal neps. This versatile yarn is available in 100g/100m hanks and is excellent for larger needle projects, garments, accessories and home décor.”
