Moorland Mohair
Born in Britain, with a passion to support indigenous fibres, heritage mills and traditional crafts Erika Knight yarn is concise and considered with fibres and colours carefully selected so that you can be confident in choosing a beautiful, quality yarn for whatever you choose to create. When launching the brand in 2012, Erika’s ethos was to keep things simple: to support British manufacturing where possible, to promote sustainable, natural fibres and to celebrate both traditional skills and modern innovation. They still have the same mission today with Erika’s ethos at the heart of everything they do, the Erika Knight brand has a much loved and quintessentially British aesthetic with designs and colours inspired by the landscape.
At Trollenwol we sell Erika Knight's Moorland Mohair sock wool. This is an original British yarn in which - instead of polyamide or nylon - a mix of 80% wool and 20% mohair has been chosen to make the socks more durable. The wool is also not superwash treated: this makes this a completely natural and environmentally friendly sock yarn. The wool of the Bluefaced Leicester sheep is, after merino wool, one of the softest and most popular wools. The beautiful colours reflect the British landscape.
