Erika Knight Wild Wool

Wild Wool is a sustainable blend of soft wool and natural nettle, an absolute pleasure to knit and crochet with.

Spun from the fibre found inside the stem of the plant, nettle has been used for 2000 years for its strength and durability as a textile. Nettle is grown abundantly and perennially in rainy areas worldwide without the need for harmful pollutants or pesticides, making it eco-friendly and sustainable.
Blended with luxurious wool the nettle enhances the character of this yarn, adding insulation and texture, which contrary to its prickly persona, creates a sumptuously soft ‘aran’ weight yarn in a palette of irresistible colours inspired by the wild.

Erika Knight is a highly respected British knit and crochet designer, as well as the creator of the Erika Knight yarn collection. The Erika Knight Yarn Collection embodies passion: a passion for genuine and traditional yarns, heritage mills and craftsmanship. Erika Knight yarns are concise and considred, featuring carefully selected fibers and colors, ensuring you always choose a high-quality and suitable yarn for your projects. The Erika Knight brand exudes a distinctly British aesthetic, with designs and colours inspired by the landscapes of the British Isles using fibres from British sheep breeds like Bluefaced Leicester and Masham to support rare breeds. The aim is to create unique fibre blends resulting in yarns that are durable, exceptionally appealing and delightful to work with.
