Knitting with CLOUD TWEED

CLOUD TWEED (a review)

I’m a sucker for yarns with personality, and CLOUD TWEED had me at first squish. The colours were already calling my name, but those tiny alpaca flecks sealed the deal. One evening of knitting and I was grinning like a fool — the kind of grin only a yarn with this much joy can give.

My First Impressions

CLOUD TWEED by LANGYARNS is an unapologetically joyful yarn that blends vibrant colour transitions with playful texture. The extrafine merino base feels luxuriously soft, while scattered baby alpaca nips add cloud-like flecks throughout. Its signature colourways are bold yet balanced, making for garments that are eye-catching without being garish.

Knitting Experience

On 6.5 mm needles, CLOUD TWEED knits into a bouncy, textured fabric with excellent stitch definition for a chunky yarn. The baby alpaca nips appear randomly, giving each row a unique character. Colour transitions flow smoothly, creating natural visual interest that doesn’t overpower the stitch work.

Wearing and Performance

The finished jumper from my test project draped beautifully and felt soft enough for all-day wear. The combination of warmth, lightness, and texture makes it perfect for statement garments. Despite its playful look, it’s surprisingly wearable thanks to the thoughtful colour balance and soft handle.
