Erika Knight Wool Local

Erika Knight Wool Local is an authentic British yarn that combines tradition and quality. The yarn is made from approx. 50% luxurious Bluefaced Leicester wool and 50% robust Masham wool in a fine 4-ply weight. The raw wool is bought at the Bradford wool auction and then processed in Yorkshire – sorted, combed, spun, steamed and balled – in the heart of the English textile industry. The result is a truly local yarn with strong roots and character.
