Tulla Tweed Yarn from Louisa Harding; All 8 Colors

Description: Louisa Harding has a reputation in the yarn industry for developing fashion forward yarns with stellar pattern support. The new Tulla Tweed is no exception. All the garments shown in the photographs are patterns to support this yarn, and they are available free upon request with purchase. "Tulla Tweed is a modern blend of fibers featuring merino wool & recycled cotton which self-stripes when knit, 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 center) - which creates garments that are light weight, 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." The fiber content of this yarn is 49% virgin wool, 26% recycled cotton, 14% Nylon, 8% acrylic and 4% viscose. The cotton adds softness to the yarn and makes it ideal for cooler climates for year-round wear, or for transitional garments in warmer climates. Each ball is 100 grams and approximately 382 yards and is worsted weight. Knitting Gauge: 18 stitches stockinette over 4" on US size 10 Needles.Crochet Gauge: 11-14 stitches in SC over 4" on size J10 Hook.
