Tweed Supreme | Majo
Majo's Tweed Supreme is made of 100% superfine merino wool with a unique tweed effect. The yarn makes exquisitely soft garments, which become even softer after washing. Another notable attribute of this yarn is its exceptional length per ball, making it possible to knit a light-weight garment that is comfortable to wear every day.
This yarn can be knitted in single thread, and thanks to its lightweight nature, it can also be knitted in two or three threads held together to achieve DK or Aran weight knitting tension.

PROJECT IDEAS
We think this yarn suits winter accessories like hats, mitts, gloves, balaclavas, or scarves. You can also create lovely lofty garments with very few balls due to the high meterage. Hold this yarn single for a fingering weight, double for a DK/Worsted weight, or triple for an Aran weight. You can pair also it with a mohair or alpaca to add some fluff and warmth to your project.
