Let’s do a swatch of the City Tweed by Knitpicks. Is it just for knitting or a great crochet option?
✨🧶 Crochet Swatch Saturday 🧶✨
Yarn: City Tweed
Colorway: Brocade
Where to Buy: Knitpicks, Crochet.com
Hook Size Used: 5mm
🔥 The Tea on This Yarn:
- Fiber Content: A nice blend of merino wool and alpaca with tweed. 10/10
- Feel: Super soft with a touch of rustic from the Tweed 9/10
- Color Range: 28 colors, pretty decent for a specialty type yarn. 9 /10
- Frogability: From lily pad to lily pad, not a challenge in site 10/10
- Splitting: No splits here 10/10
- Stitch Definition: The stitches get a little lost in the dark color and tweed effect. 8/10
- Drape: The yarn is closer to a worsted size so the drape is a little denser than a traditional DK 8/10
- Washability: Some minor bleeding on bigger project 9/10
- Warnings or concerns: Nubs shedding 9/10
- Price: Pretty awesome for a premium yarn 9/10
✨ Overall verdict: 9.1/10 Fun fact: 🧶City Tweed gets its signature cozy character from a blend that includes tiny flecks of Donegal tweed spun right into the yarn. Those little nubs aren’t just decorative; they’re actually bits of dyed wool called “neps” that create depth, texture, and a speckled look that feels straight out of an old-world knitwear tale. It’s like each strand carries a pocket-sized story of wooly confetti. ✨
