Louisa Harding Tulla Tweed Cassidy 117
Louisa Harding Tulla Tweed Cassidy 117 has delicate self-striping shades of lavender, lilac, orchid, soft blush, and pale cream with colorful Donegal tweed flecks throughout. The gentle pastel palette is perfect for lightweight sweaters, shawls, wraps, scarves, and elegant accessories.
Tulla Tweed is a modern blend of fibers featuring merino wool & recycled cotton which self-stripes when knitted, and also features a tasteful tweed fleck! It is a chainette construction (the base yarn of Tulla Tweed is very fine - to create a thicker yarn this fine base is braided like an I-cord to create a casing with a hollow centre) which creates garments that are lightweight, less likely to pill, and exceedingly warm as heat is trapped inside the hollow core. When designing with a Tulla Tweed, Louisa has applied the rule of working with chainette yarns using a larger size needle than you would for a traditionally plied yarn to create the same gauge – this gives the yarn room to stretch. If you use the same needle size as a traditionally plied yarn the resulting fabric would be too dense. When substituting Tulla Tweed in another pattern it’s very important to swatch, especially if using it for a pattern that uses a more traditionally constructed worsted spun yarn.
