[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Heather and tweed

[carcione at access.net]

Speaking of color, can anyone explain to me what it means when a yarn color
is heathered?  And how about tweed?

I think that tweed means it has a main color with flecks of black, tan and
maybe white scattered around.

But then I sort of thought heathered was also flecks.

I have a yarn which is brown heathered with "hints of raisin and raspberry".
So I imagine it's brown with flecks of reds?
