Erika Knight Pure Tweed

Erika Knight Pure Tweed is, as the name suggests, a pure tweed yarn with authentic British charm and feel.

Erika Knight Pure Tweed yarn is a traditionally spun Aran strong tweed yarn. Wool spinning involves carding the fibers without combing, which allows plenty of air to enter the yarn. This adds volume to the yarn structure and makes it wonderfully airy.

Erika Knight Pure Tweed yarn feels soft but is also sturdy, which makes it perfect for knitting things like durable cardigans, hats or blankets. The yarn's color chart is beautiful and harmonious, and its shades are named after the places and castles located along the famous Tweed River in Scotland. The wool used in Pure Tweed yarn comes from sheep in Europe and New Zealand and the yarn is spun in County Donegal, Ireland.

The yarn becomes significantly softer and fluffier after washing, so knitwear made with this yarn should be finished by wetting it.
