Collection: Erika Knight Studio Linen Eco
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.
There is nothing like a crisp, cool linen blend for warm weather knits! Studio Linen Eco is a unique blend of Lyocell & linen that offers crisp stitch definition, drape & a lived-in softness.
Lyocell is a soft, breathable fiber that is spun from the cellulose of trees. It is considered a sustainable fiber & absorbs moisture to help regulate body temperature. Blended with linen, it creates a yarn that is comfortable, durable & resists pilling.
Spun in a summery DK weight, Studio Linen Eco is the perfect choice for tops, skirts/ dresses, wraps, scarves & market bags. The sophisticated color palette provides plenty of inspiration for knit & crochet projects.
Class ideas: Beach/ market bag, tank top or color block short sleeve top.
