Mayflower Easy Care Tweed

Mayflower Easy Care Tweed is a classic tweed yarn in a soft and durable blend of wool, acrylic and viscose. The yarn has a beautiful texture with subtle flecks of color, giving a lively and rustic feel to your knitting projects.

Usage
With its fine stitch definition and lightweight structure, Mayflower Easy Care Tweed works well for light sweaters, children’s garments, cardigans and cozy accessories. It’s especially great for patterned knitting and stockinette stitch where the tweed effect shows up distinctly.

Product advantages

  • Easy care: Yarn can be machine washed at 40°C and requires minimal maintenance – perfect for everyday wear
  • Classic tweed look: The woven flecks of color add texture and life to your work without being overwhelming
  • Soft and durable: The wool’s warmth combined with synthetic fiber strength gives a comfortable, long‑lasting result


Tips for use

Try pairing Mayflower Easy Care Tweed with a solid-color yarn for a nice contrast in patterned knitting. It also works beautifully for baby knits since it’s soft and easy to wash. Remember to knit a gauge swatch to secure proper fit – especially for larger pieces.

Why choose this yarn?
Mayflower Easy Care Tweed brings together the best of both worlds: the classic look of tweed and modern ease of care. It’s a go‑to choice for both beginners and seasoned knitters wanting style and function in one yarn.
