Enjoy the luster & drape of Erika Knight Wild Wool.

Wild Wool is a unique & gorgeous worsted/ Aran weight yarn spun with a blend of wool & viscose from nettle. Used in textiles for over 2,000 years, nettle fiber delivers a beautiful sheen that gives stitches incredible depth & character. Spun into a single-ply strand, the nettle is blended with wool to create a yarn that possesses both durability & softness.

Sussex Square by Erika Knight is a modern cropped sweater that looks fantastic layered over a crisp, button-down shirt, tank top or camisole. The oversized piece is comfortable to wear & manages to be relaxed, yet sophisticated at the same time.

Another lovely pattern in Wild Wool is the Runswick Cowl by Erika Knight. Knit in the round, this brioche cowl has dramatic proportions that are flattering, as well as functional.
