Diving right in

Well, I did some swatching:



The swatch on the left is Classic Elite Skye Tweed (which I chose having never felt it before in my life off yarn.com for cheap) and the right is Rowan Summer Tweed. I was really worried about how scratchy the Skye Tweed turned out to be, so I picked up some Summer Tweed on a whim at my LYS the other day. I am really just learning about different yarns and their characteristics, so I was astonished to see how differently they knitted up. I think I truly know the meaning of "stitch definition" now! I think the Summer Tweed is beautiful in stockinette, but my CPH definitely deserves the Skye Tweed :)

I wore the wool swatch on my arm for a little while and it felt pretty soft without bothering me much, so since I have a boatload of it, I'm going for it! I have thought about swatching some more since this little experiment went so well, but... I can't wait :) More info and pics at my blog, of course!

Be warned the Summer tweed will grow over time.
