Swedish Check

This is paired with the Twisted Check Pattern, but I decided to write about each swatch separately, mainly because I don't think they are very similar.

Barb says that both create a nice allover textured fabric for "tweedy" sports wear, coats and sweaters.
I think that is true with the Swedish check, but I beg to differ with the Twisted Check.

The Swedish check has a great nubly feel, and a decent drape, so it shouldn't have that heavy feeling that I associated with tweed from the 70s.

This swatch was knit with Cascade Yarn Pima Tencel, leftover from when I knitted Anouk for one of my nieces.
