With a Fine Art background & successful career in the fashion industry, British knitwear designer, Erika Knight, has delighted fiber artists around the world with her approachable patterns. A natural extension of her passion for knitting & crochet, Erika Knight yarns are both modern & steeped in tradition. Rustic wool & authentic tweed lovers will adore Pure Tweed. Spun in County Donegal, Ireland, this single-ply, worsted weight yarn is the real thing! Woolen-spun to create a lightweight, yet warm yarn, Pure Tweed has an airy & voluminous character. Sturdy & durable, the yarn blooms beautifully with wet blocking, filling in all of the spaces for a warm, weather resistant fabric. Like most heritage yarns, Pure Tweed gets softer with wash & wear. Studded with striking, multi-colored tweed bits, the yarn knits into accessories & garments that have depth & visual interest. The traditional, yet modern palette of colorways provides knitters with plenty of inspiration for cabled sweaters, textured accessories & cozy home décor such as pillow & throws. 100% Wool • Medium/ Worsted/ Aran 175 yards • 100g • US 8-10 (5-6 mm) needles Care: Hand wash, lay flat to dry Gauge: 16 st x 24 rows per 4” Origin: Ireland
