Universal Deluxe Worsted Tweed Superwash Yarn

Universal Yarn Deluxe Worsted Tweed Superwash brings together everything we love about a classic wool yarn—warmth, stitch definition, and a timeless tweed look—with the convenience of easy-care superwash wool.

Made with 90% superwash wool and just enough acrylic and viscose to create its signature tweedy flecks, this worsted-weight yarn has plenty of personality without overwhelming your stitch pattern. It’s a great choice when you want a traditional wool look with a little extra visual interest.

At 218 yards per 100-gram skein, Deluxe Worsted Tweed Superwash is wonderfully versatile. Use it for cozy sweaters and cardigans, textured hats and scarves, colorwork, blankets, and other projects designed to be worn and loved for years. Best of all, it’s machine washable—making it especially practical for gift knitting, family sweaters, children’s garments, and everyday accessories.
