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.
