Encore Tweed is a classic acrylic and wool blend yarn with a touch of rayon. It is machine washable and has 200 yards per skein which makes it a great yarn for hats, scarves and sweaters!
I was looking everywhere for this yarn and this color. I was happy that i was able to find it and I now have a new place to order my yarn. I was able to complete my project.
I wanted an easy care, less expensive material for a knitted vest. This yarn worked up well in a cable pattern. The yarn had great stitch definition and very little splitting. It went through the washer and dryer once with no ill effects. I would suggest washing the gauge swatch before measuring as the gauge was slightly different after washing
This is a wonderful economical tweed. I made a shawl in Oatmeal and I love it. Warm and soft. It would be great for home items too, like pillow covers.
I knitted a cardigan with this yarn about a year ago. It is soft, has a nice drape. There is some openwork in the pattern Cusco by Cheryl Oberle and I blocked it. It has held the openwork nicely and is very comfortable.
I love this yarn for baby projects. It's sproingy and soft and light, so long as you're knitting it on the right size needlesâ€go too tight and it loses a lot of softness. But I've made several baby items with this and it always works out well. And you can't beat that price!
