Erika Knight - Wool Local

Wool Local is a typically British yarn. Erika Knight is the sustainability of their yarns particularly important. So Wool Local is produced with the wool of British sheep in Yorkshire.

"This wonderful blend of luxurious Bluefaced Leicester wool with sturdy Masham in a fine 4-ply gauge is a truly local wool that has its roots in the heart of the English textile industry." - Erika Knight

Responsibility

From fleece to finished yarn in less than 50 miles: Wool Local meets just that requirement, being both quintessentially British and sustainably produced. The raw wool is purchased at the wool auction in Bradford and then sorted, combed, spun, steamed and wound in Yorkshire.
