The Puro Cardigan is a simple cardigan designed to be comfortable and easy to wear. Worked with a 6.5 mm (US 10.5) needle, it knits up very quickly and easily. This shoulder construction of the cardigan was inspired by the one often seen on trench coats, with set-in sleeves in the front and raglan sleeves in the back. In order to approach this structure, the back and front increases were differentiated. As a result, the design maintains clean line in the front while leaving room for movement in the back. It is knitted from the top down and the front band is added later. It can be knit to any length you like.

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.

From fleece to finished yarn in less than 50 miles, Wool Local and Wool Local Aran are both authentically British and environmentally sustainable. Starting at the British wool auction in Bradford, the wool is scoured, combed, spun, dyed, steamed and hanked in the county of Yorkshire. An intimate blend (50%/50%) of luxurious Bluefaced Leicester and hardwearing Masham, in a nice 10-ply Aran weight, this is a truly local wool, with its roots in the heartland of British textile manufacturing.
