The Royal Collection · Tweed 2/6000 · 300m/328yds per 100g/3.5oz · 76% Cashmere (WS) 17% Wool (WO) 7% Silk (Se)

Tweed 2/6000 by The Royal Collection is a cashmere-dominant tweed of exceptional distinction. 76% cashmere in a tweed construction is genuinely remarkable: the warmth, softness, and luxury of premium cashmere expressed through one of the most characterful and enduring yarn formats in all of knitting. The tweed flecks, bright and varied in colour, sit within a soft cashmere base that is warm, refined, and immediately luxurious in the hand. This is tweed elevated to a level that pure wool constructions simply cannot reach.

17% wool adds the authentic texture and natural resilience that give tweed its characteristic feel and structural integrity, ensuring the flecks sit cleanly within the base and the finished fabric holds its character through wear. 7% silk adds a quiet, refined luster that runs through the cashmere base, catching light with a subtle sheen and giving the fabric a surface quality that distinguishes this tweed from any conventional construction.

The multicolour flecks, blue, red, pink, and other tones scattered against the grey base, give the yarn a lively, considered visual depth that develops further in the knitting and rewards the eye at every scale.

Versatile Use

At 300m/100g, Tweed 2/6000 is a true DK-weight yarn ready to knit and crochet as is. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Performs beautifully in simple stitch patterns where the cashmere softness, tweed flecks, and silk luster can all read clearly. Ideal for refined sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and accessories where cashmere luxury and authentic tweed character define the finished piece.
