Description

Erika Knight's Wool Local Aran is a superb wool that is authentically British, eco-friendly, and sustainable. Wool Local Aran is the thicker sister of Wool Local.

Every step of the manufacturing process, from down to yarn ready for knitting, is carried out within a 50-mile radius. It all starts in Bradford, where the British yarn auctions are held, and then the wool is sorted, combed, spun, dyed, and skeined in Yorkshire.

Wool Local Aran combines luxurious Bluefaced Leicester and durable, airy and lightweight Masham , it is a truly local wool, with its roots in the heart of British textile manufacturing.
