Overview
SoulMade II is a soft and textured two-ply tweed yarn, spun from 100% mulesing-free merino wool and milled at a family-run wool mill in Italy. Use SoulMade Tweed II to create lightweight garments that feel cashmere-soft, with beautiful volume and a unique expression. SoulMade Tweed II is remarkably adaptable. The fibres bloom beautifully when blocked, allowing you to work across a wide range of needle sizes. One of the key intentions was to create a two-ply tweed that works beautifully for cable knitting. The result is clear structure while remaining light, soft and comfortable against the skin.
Pair it with a silk mohair or Gepard Cashmere Lace to accentuate or soften the colours according to your preference.
Sizing up your needles creates a lighter, softer and more fluid fabric while using less yarn, making it possible to create luxurious garments while keeping the overall yarn cost down.
We recommend making and washing a swatch before starting your project to find the ideal texture and gauge.
SoulMade Tweed II has more body and fullness than SoulMade Tweed I, while retaining the lightness, flexibility and lively tweed surface at the heart of the SoulMade concept.
The result of years of expertise and craftsmanship, SoulMade Tweed II offers beautiful stitch definition and a fabric that feels exceptionally soft and light against the skin, with just the right amount of substance for sweaters, cardigans and everyday knits. Sus’ expertise in handspinning has been central to its development, creating a yarn with soul, movement and life.

Soul Made Tweed is spun from pure wool, which stays beautiful with gentle care.
Wash your knit carefully using a detergent made for wool. Soak only briefly, and always rinse out the soap thoroughly.
Use a laundry bag when spin-drying. Reshape the garment after washing and dry flat to preserve its shape, surface and stitch definition as beautifully as possible.
