The 90s are having a moment, which means Neon is having a moment. Enter Neon Tweed from Miss Babs! Combining the flocked speckled nature of tweed with the brights of neon, Neon Tweed’s neps are black light reactive! Neon Tweed lets us bring “brat” from summer into fall. The perfect way to take a classic silhouette and add a modern twist, Neon Tweed makes Tweed anything but demure. This fingering weight yarn is perfect for garments and accessories alike.
The yarnistas are excited to cast on with this vibrant new yarn – and we’ve shared our Pattern inspiration below!
