HOW IT'S MADE

PROJECT IDEAS
Aran Tweed is a great yarn for warm layering garments like cozy sweaters, cardigans, or vests. If you find you're not sensitive to wool at all, you can also make some beautiful scarves or hats with this yarn. You can also add in a mohair or alpaca to soften the wool, for garments worn right on the skin.
