Love this yarn. Beautiful colors and when combined with the cascade seta in a matching color it looks so scrumptious. I want 2 skeins of every color!

I finally found a free pattern on the Rowan website. It is a joy to knit with this yarn and I love the look for summer.

 Hard to knit 5 of 9

This yarn is definitely for more experienced knitters. There is no ease in the yarn, consequently even stitches can be difficult. It makes a natural looking product, so be careful of the pattern.

I'm using this yarn for my first knitting project a scarf and a hat. I had some trouble with this yarn to begin with b/c sometimes it seems like it's split. I accidentally increased my project. I figured it out and ultimately I LOVE this yarn. It's so soft. I have allergies to most animal hair so this is perfect for me. I love the color and can't wait to wear my gorgeous project!

I just made a shawl with a bottom ruffle using summer tweed ---- I got compliments galore.  It has all the elements of a classic look -- texture, drape, color, etc.  And everyone wants to knit one!   Just wanted everyone to know the beauty of Summer Tweed.  Thanks,  Joan

I just began knitting with Summer Tweed and I love it.  It is silky and nubby and almost feels like it wants to exfoliate your hands but without being harsh.  It knits up fairly heavy, but still has a good drape and a really nice texture.
