Looking for eco-friendly yarn that’s warm, lightweight and full of texture?
 
Tulla Tweed is a worsted-weight (10ply) chainette yarn spun in Italy from a thoughtful blend of 49% non-mulesed virgin wool, 26% recycled cotton, 13% recycled nylon, plus touches of acrylic and viscose for strength. It combines softness, sustainability and structure in one cleverly engineered strand, complete with subtle stripes and tasteful tweed flecks.
 
Whether you’re searching where to buy eco-friendly yarn in Australia or want a warm, breathable yarn with a modern twist, Tulla Tweed brings something special to your stash.
 
A Yarn with a Story
 
Tulla Tweed is crafted using a chainette construction, a technique that braids a fine strand of yarn into a hollow, tubular shape, creating a plush, resilient fabric that traps warmth without the weight. This construction also reduces pilling, increases elasticity and gives your work a beautifully relaxed drape.
 
With self-striping colourways and flecks of tweed throughout, Tulla Tweed adds effortless depth and dimension to your stitches. The yarn is OEKO-TEX® certified and made with a mix of virgin wool and upcycled fibres, including recycled cotton and eco-friendly nylon, making it a standout choice for conscious makers who love natural warmth and low-impact production.
 
Why You’ll Love It
 
Tulla Tweed is both sophisticated and sustainable, a rare combination. It’s perfect for everything from everyday garments to showstopping accessories and works best on slightly larger needles to allow its plush chainette structure to shine.
 
You’ll love:
