LANG YARN Cotton Tweed

Cotton Tweed - Soft Summer Tweed Yarn

Cotton Tweed is a beautifully soft and lightweight yarn that combines a buttery-soft handle with a wonderfully rustic, textured appearance. Designed with summer knitting in mind, it brings together the natural comfort of cotton, the gentle lustre of silk, and colourful tweed nepps for a fabric that feels light, breathable, and full of character.

The yarn is made from two strands twisted together: one single-coloured base strand and one strand containing colourful silk tweed nepps. Together, they create a lively, slightly irregular texture that gives even simple stitches a beautiful depth and visual interest.

With its soft handle and lightweight construction, Cotton Tweed is particularly well suited to spring and summer garments. It works beautifully for relaxed sweaters, cardigans, tops, scarves, and lightweight accessories, while the colourful nepps add a playful touch without overwhelming the overall design.
