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.

One of the most popular Erika Knight yarns, Wool Local is a wool lover’s dream!  Rustic, with a heritage hand, the yarn is a breed specific blend of beloved Bluefaced Leicester wool & durable Masham wool. 

The yarn is spun with 100% British wool that is combed, spun, dyed & handed in the County of Yorkshire.  Each skein has a heathered look that is ideal for knitting traditional accessories & garments.  Wool Local knits into heirloom pieces that may be passed down through generations.

This yarn was made for stranded colorwork, cables & other delightful techniques.  It is also a forgiving yarn that is nice for beginners.
