Spotlight on...  Harrap Tweed

17/2/2017

This is Harrap Tweed by Sirdar, available in both Chunky and DK weights.  It is a lovely tweed yarn, 2 colours intertwined with flecks of complimenting colours.  It's a blend of 40% nylon, 30% wool, 24% acrylic, and 6% viscose.

Above is the chunky weight yarn, in 8 colourways available in store.  100g ball gives you 168m/184yds which knits up on 6.5mm needles to give a tension of 14 stitches and 19rows for 10cm/4ins

Here are the Double Knitting colours, some of which are the same as the chunky, but a couple of shades are exclusive  to the DK weight (the pink and lilac shades for example).  DK balls are 50g for 155m/170yds and use 4mm needles.  The tension comes up as 22sts and 28 rows.  Both the Dk and the chunky weights are machine washable on a wool cycle, tumble dry on low and cool iron and can be dry cleaned if needed, so perfect for high use garments!

Here is the shop's resident model, Catherine,  showing a garment made with Harrap Tweed DK in the black/grey colourway.  Pattern (and others) are available in store.

How much is your 100g Harrap tweed per ball. Do you sell this wool in packs of how many balls are they 100g per ball.

Where can I send my order off line to require name and address, with what to put on the cheque.
