Because of the softly spun nature of Aegean Tweed, some knitters may prefer to use a firmly spun yarn such as sock yarn, in a similar color to accomplish seaming and finishing steps; alternatively, you may add twist into the yarn (in the same direction as the yarn is plied) as you sew to add tensile strength.

Gauge:
