Louisa Harding Tulla Tweed
Louisa Harding Tulla Tweed Skye 102 has soft self-striping shades of baby blue, blush pink, warm tan, and pale yellow accented by orange, green, and red Donegal tweed flecks throughout. The delicate pastel palette with colorful tweed flecks creates gentle color transitions that are perfect for sweaters, cardigans, shawls, scarves, and charming everyday 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.
