Erika Knight Pure Tweed

Woollen spinning involves carding the fibres without combing them, which introduces plenty of air into the yarn, giving it a wonderfully airy and voluminous texture. Knitted pieces made from woollen-spun yarn are exceptionally durable and often last a lifetime.

Erika Knight Pure Tweed has a soft yet sturdy feel, making it perfect for crafting long-lasting cardigans, hats, or blankets. However, what truly sets this yarn apart is its beautiful and harmonious colour palette. The shades were named after places and castles along the famous River Tweed in Scotland

The wool used in this yarn comes from sheep in Europe and New Zealand, and the yarn is spun in Ireland, in the county of Donegal renowned for its rich textile heritage.

As always with rustic carded yarns, the wool really blossoms again after the first hand wash.
