If you love the textured warmth of tweed but want a yarn that goes the distance on a big project, this 400g cone of Wendy with Wool Aran Tweed is ready to deliver. With 816 metres wound onto a single cone, you can cast on a chunky cable-knit sweater or a classic aran cardigan without the anxiety of running short mid-sleeve.
The blend of 77% acrylic, 20% wool and 3% viscose gives you just enough natural fibre to bring warmth and a soft, slightly rustic hand feel, while the acrylic content keeps the yarn bouncy and consistent stitch to stitch. The tweed flecks add visual depth and disguise minor tension variations beautifully, making it a forgiving choice for a relaxed-fit aran jumper or a cosy country-style waistcoat. It knits up with a crisp stitch definition that lets cables and seed-stitch panels really stand out.
The colour palette leans into classic tweed territory — think warm neutrals, heathered tones and muted shades that feel timeless rather than trendy. These colours work especially well on textured stitch patterns, where the flecks catch the light and give a handcrafted, artisan quality to the finished fabric.
The high acrylic content means this yarn is machine washable at 30°C and holds its shape well after repeated wear, making it a sensible choice for a hardworking weekend jacket or a children’s aran blanket that will actually get used. Cool iron if needed and tumble dry on a low setting — practical care for practical knitting. The large 400g cone format also makes it brilliant value when you’re planning a full-sized garment from scratch.
