Tussah Tweed comes in many beautiful colorways and is a beautiful lightweight yarn for warmer months. BC Garn has one of the largest collections of GOTS certified organic yarn.

Tussah Tweed has a muted stitch definition. The knitted fabric has excellent drape and is very lightweight.

Please note: Tussah Tweed is transitioning from skeins to cones, so you may receive either format, depending upon your order and our stock. It is the same gorgeous yarn!
