400g. 77% Acrylic, 20% Wool, 3% Viscose. Aran.
Wendy with Wool Aran Tweed combines a practical acrylic base with a touch of wool and viscose to produce a yarn that earns its keep on the needles. The tweed fleck gives finished pieces a traditional, textured appearance without the fuss of a pure-wool care routine.
On 5mm needles this yarn settles into a firm, even fabric that holds cables and textured stitches particularly well — the slight wool content adds just enough grip to keep stitches in place without feeling sticky. It knits up cleanly without splitting, even at a consistent working pace, and the 816m per 400g ball means fewer joins on larger projects.
The aran weight and tweed finish suit classic crew-neck jumpers, cabled cardigans, and sturdy hats and scarves where a heritage look is part of the appeal. It’s also a practical choice for home accessories such as cushion covers and market bags that need to stand up to regular use.
The palette leans into natural, heathered tones that complement the tweed fleck — earthy neutrals, warm mid-tones, and a handful of deeper shades suited to autumnal and winter projects.
