 Erika Knight Yarn Collection, Sussex

The Erika Knight Yarn Collection is rooted in British landscapes and traditions. The knitting patterns in "Sussex" also take this as their starting point. Sussex County is a beautiful part of southern England with rugged coastlines, majestic chalk cliffs, and rolling hills. The designs by Erika Knight, Mieka John, and Jule Kebelmann reflect this diverse landscape. They drew inspiration from Britain's rich knitting traditions and created a modern interpretation of cable-knit vests, Shetland lace, and fisherman's sweaters.
