Description

The classic tweed look has received a beautiful twist; Mayflower Birmingham is a luxurious, woolen tweed yarn with great color depth and fascinating nuances. It is spun exclusively for Mayflower in Italy.

Wool and alpaca give Birmingham its lovely organic softness. The fibers make the yarn comfortably insulating, ideal for a sweater or shawl, as well as being beautiful for interior design. Simple stockinette or garter stitch is enough to create a fantastic effect, and Fair-Isle knitting will gain an extra dimension with the yarn's fine tweed flecks. The yarn is certified according to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100.

    Skønt garn

    Jeg har anvendt Birmingham til flere af mine opskrifter og er rigtig glad for garnet. Blødt, skønt at strikke med og så har garnet en flot effekt.

    Super garn

    Garnet føles blødt og er let at strikke. Jeg ser frem til slutresultatet og følelsen af at have den færdige sweater på. *****

Mayflower Birmingham is a delicious, woolly tweed yarn, spun for Mayflower in Italy. The yarn has a classic tweed look with a twist, resulting in the most fascinating colors. Combined with the yarn's natural comfort, a brilliant blend has been created, which can quickly become a lovely new favorite yarn.

Mayflower Birmingham is primarily spun from soft, high-quality South American wool, added with alpaca and viscose, which together give the yarn a delicious, organic softness. The glossy, soft alpaca fibers come from the alpaca's coat. The animals mainly live in Peru, where the unique coat has developed to withstand the most extreme weather conditions in the highlands. The thin, fine fibers are hollow and thus insulating, which are sought-after properties in textiles. Wool and alpaca fibers are both classic elements in quality yarn, and together they provide a soft and naturally durable structure, which both provides comfort and looks fantastic in knitting as well as crocheting.

The yarn's beautiful color play is captivating. The lovely tweed flecks consist of viscose and are carefully matched with the yarn's shades. The fiber content absorbs color differently, providing color depth and the finest melange. The color chart is created with care so that the shades can easily be combined into beautiful stripes or fascinating fair-isle patterns, where the tweed flecks add an extra layer of color.

Birmingham is particularly excellent for sweaters, cardigans, shawls, interiors, etc. The yarn will also be fantastic together with a companion thread of, for example, Mayflower Super Kid Silk, if you want the feeling of mohair luxury.

The fine quality is spun into a relatively thin yarn, where we recommend a needle size 3-3½ mm. For the same reason, it is also easy to knit double on needle size 4-5 mm to achieve more volume and maintain the same lovely softness and interesting look. In reality, you don't need to do much to make your project look like a million with Birmingham. Simple stockinette or textured patterns with knit and purl stitches are enough to give a fantastic effect.

Fantastic experience.
Completely painless experience buying yarn from Mayflower. My order was sent off super quickly and I already had my package the next day. It was extremely great, as I needed it as a gift!

Kristian

Good experience in the webshop and great handling of complaints. In March, I bought a lot of yarn skeins in the webshop. Super fast delivery and very nice quality yarn: Cotton Merino.

Mette

I bought a lot of yarn from the webshop after getting really good guidance over the phone. The yarn was really good. The problem was the delivery with dao, which did not live up to what was ordered. I wrote to mayflower to make them aware of it, and was called by the nicest Lady, who was happy for the feedback and compensated my wasted delivery costs. That's what I call really good customer service.
