Erika Knight Yarns: British quality for your projects

Q: Is Erika Knight wool superwash or hand wash only?

It is hand wash only. This is natural pure wool, with no superwash treatment (the finish that allows machine washing). Wash it in cold or lukewarm water with a wool-specific detergent, without rubbing, and dry it flat to preserve its soft handle and shape.

Q: What is Bluefaced Leicester wool?

It is the fibre used to make this yarn: pure wool from a British sheep breed known for its softness and natural sheen. It offers good drape and stitch definition, making it ideal for garments and accessories with a refined, long-lasting finish.

Q: Are they suitable for sensitive skin or baby clothes?

Yes. The fibre is one of the softest sheep wools, it is not itchy and is 100% natural, making it suitable for delicate skin and baby garments. Its softness makes it comfortable in pieces worn directly against the skin.

Q: What fabrics and techniques are they designed for?

For knitting and crochet: jumpers, shawls, hats, accessories and colourwork projects. Its good drape and stitch definition show beautifully in textures, lacework and cables. The small ball format makes it easy to combine several shades without building up leftovers.

Erika Knight Yarns: British Bluefaced Leicester fibre

Erika Knight yarns bring together the work of a British designer around a noble fibre: Bluefaced Leicester pure wool, one of the softest English wools with a natural sheen. It is a choice for knitters looking for materials with character, good drape and a refined finish in every project.

This British sheep breed produces a fine, luminous fleece, prized for its soft handle and stitch definition. If you love natural fibres, we also stock other pure wools such as merino, with that same noble character.

What projects and techniques is this Erika Knight yarn suitable for?

This English wool is designed for knitting and crochet, from garments and accessories to colourwork projects. Its soft handle and good drape make it ideal for jumpers, shawls, hats or textured projects, where the natural fibre shows off its definition and elegance.

The 25-gram format makes colour combinations easier without building up leftovers, ideal for multi-shade projects. These are yarns that invite you to knit slowly and enjoy a long-lasting result that keeps its shape and softness wash after wash.

How do you wash and care for this wool?

Hand wash only, as this is natural pure wool with no superwash treatment (a finish that allows machine washing). Use cold or lukewarm water and a wool-specific detergent, without rubbing or wringing the garment.

Remove excess water with a towel and dry flat, away from direct heat sources. Avoid the washing machine, spin cycle and fabric softeners: this care preserves the soft handle, colour and original shape of the fibre.

Are they suitable for sensitive skin and baby garments?

Yes. Bluefaced Leicester wool is one of the softest sheep fibres, it is not itchy and, as it is 100% natural, it is suitable for delicate skin and baby garments. Its softness and good drape make it comfortable in pieces that are in direct contact with the skin.
