Product Description
Knit River from the Heima by Gudrun Erla for Andover Fabrics
Deep river-blue ground with tiny Nordic knit stars
Knit River translates the quiet rhythm of Icelandic knitwear into a versatile quilting blender. On a deep river-blue ground—somewhere between indigo and midnight—petite, star-like stitches repeat with measured regularity, echoing motifs from traditional lopapeysa jumpers. The scale is small and tidy, so from a distance the fabric reads almost solid; up close, the knit texture adds gentle movement that lifts backgrounds and negative space without stealing focus. Rooted in the spirit of Heima—home shaped by land, weather and memory—this blue quilting cotton pairs naturally with the collection’s glacier lights, basalt greys, moss greens and warm volcanic reds. It’s an easy go-to for modern piecing, low-volume schemes needing a darker value, and heritage blocks where subtle texture keeps the surface interesting. Naturally integrated long-tail phrases include: indigo blue quilting cotton, Nordic knit motif fabric, Scandinavian blue cotton print UK, textured blender for patchwork.
Use Knit River for star points and flying geese that need definition, tidy sashing that links mixed palettes, or bindings that finish a quilt with a crisp, inky edge. In home décor sewing it brings a clean, Scandi note to cushions, table runners, placemats and fabric baskets; for accessories, the tiny motif curves neatly around seams and complements nickel, gunmetal or matte-black hardware on zipped pouches, organisers and structured totes. Printed on premium 100% cotton, width 44"/112cm, weight 145gsm, it sews smoothly, presses crisply and suits both machine and hand quilting. For cohesive projects, combine with other Heima prints: team with Glacier Ice or Waterfall for tonal depth, anchor with Ash or Obsidian for graphic contrast, or warm with Saddle and Rhubarb for a balanced landscape palette. This knit-inspired blender adds dependable colour, elegant texture and season-spanning versatility across patchwork & quilting, home décor sewing, bag making and textile arts.
