Essence Of The British Isles

There’s nothing more quintessentially British than tweed yarn. Pure Tweed by Erika Knight is just that, no supplements or fibre blending.

Pure Tweed is woollen spun, a method that involves carding the fibre without combing it. This makes the finished yarn airy and voluminous. Garments knit from woollen spun yarn tend to be very hard wearing and long lasting.

Erika Knight is a British Brand with a wish to support indigenous fibres, heritage mills and traditional crafts. in 2012 when Erika launched the brand, the goal was to support British manufacturing and to use sustainable natural fibres, as well as utilising traditional skills with modern innovation. The goal is still the same today.

Erika’s designs and colours are inspired by the quintessential British landscape.
