BC Garn Hamelton Tweed 2 is a chunky tweed yarn made from 90% virgin wool and 10% viscose (from bamboo). It is the chunky sister of Hamelton Tweed 1 (aran), with the same material properties but almost twice as thick, so projects grow quickly on larger needles.
Chunky wool yarn for blankets, cardigans and plaids
This is a bulky weight (chunky in the UK) yarn that suits larger knits. It makes a lovely wool yarn for blanket projects, a cardigan with set-in sleeves, or a plaid to wrap up in. The tweed fleck does a lot of the work for you, so you can practically skip complicated patterns. Plain stocking stitch, garter or a simple texture is plenty.
Good to know before you start
- It is non-superwash wool, so wash by hand only.
- The tweed flecks are part of its character, so expect a flecked finish rather than a solid, smooth colour.
- It is a woolly but soft yarn, a good fit for outerwear and homewares.
The raw wool for our Hamelton yarns comes from mulesing-free farms in South America. Spinning and dyeing take place in Turkey.
