Erika Knight Pure Tweed is a traditionally woollen-spun tweed yarn in Aran weight. Woollen spinning involves carding the fibres without combing them, which introduces plenty of air into the yarn, giving it a wonderfully airy and voluminous texture. Knitted pieces made from woollen-spun yarn are exceptionally durable and often last a lifetime. Erika Knight Pure Tweed has a soft yet sturdy feel, making it perfect for crafting long-lasting cardigans, hats, or blankets.
The colour palette is named after places and castles along the River Tweed in Scotland.
The wool used in this yarn comes from sheep in Europe and New Zealand, and the yarn is spun in Ireland, in the county Donegal. The wool softens and blooms after the first wash.
Each shade in this luxury British breed blend is inspired by English woodland. This soft yarn is comfortable worn next to the skin making it ideal for sweaters, scarves and hats.

Gilliatt is a woolen spun yarn made from a blend of white French Mérinos d'Arles (Provence) and black Portuguese merino (Alentejo valley) raised with concern for the well-being of the animals and the value of their wool.
All the manufacturing stages of this yarn are carried out in a short circuit (France and Portugal for sourcing, Belgium or Italy for washing, France for spinning and dyeing) with traceability and care to reduce its impact on the environment.
It is offered in natural colours resulting from the blend of brown and white fleeces ("sel" (salt), "poivre blanc" (white pepper), "poivre et sel" (pepper and salt) and "poivre" (pepper)), and in a range of subtly heathered and dyed in fleece colours.
ON THE NEEDLES
Made up of three well-twisted strands, it is a round, soft and satisfying fluffy yarn which is perfect for about everything from stocking stitch to intricate cables.
It's a yarn that easily forgives irregularities, doesn't split and stays securely on the needles, making it an excellent choice for beginners as well.
RECOMMENDED CARE
This yarn is not superwash treated. We recommend that you wash your knitted fabric in warm water with soap or a suitable detergent and leave it to dry flat, avoiding rubbing or stretching it. If you wish to test the wool programme of your washing machine, we advise you to do so first with your sample.
Please note that very dark or particularly saturated colours such as "émeraude" are more likely to bleed during blocking. If you plan to knit with lighter colours, we recommend that you test a swatch first. If you find excess dye in the first wash, we recommend that you repeat the rinse bath until it is clear before drying your work.
