Product Description
Knit Silica from the Heima by Gudrun Erla for Andover Fabrics
Pale silica grey with tiny Nordic knit stars — a refined low-volume blender
Knit Silica channels the calm of Iceland’s mineral landscape into a soft low-volume print. A pale silica grey ground—somewhere between frost and pumice—is dotted with petite star stitches that echo motifs from traditional lopapeysa knitwear. The motif is small and evenly spaced, so the fabric reads almost solid from a distance while offering gentle movement up close: ideal when you want interest without distraction. Part of Heima, a collection where colour and texture are drawn from land, weather and the feeling of home, this neutral sits effortlessly with glacier blues, moss greens, basalt greys and berry reds. As a light grey quilting cotton, it’s perfect for modern minimal palettes, soft contrast in children’s quilts, and low-volume backgrounds that keep piecing clear. Naturally woven SEO phrases include: low-volume grey quilting cotton, light grey cotton print UK, Nordic knit motif fabric, neutral quilting cotton blender, Scandinavian quilting fabric.
Use Knit Silica for tidy sashing that links varied palettes, calm borders that frame without shouting, or crisp bindings with a subtle knit texture. It shines in home décor sewing—cushions, table runners, placemats and fabric storage—bringing a clean Nordic note to contemporary interiors. Bag makers will appreciate how the tiny motifs curve neatly around seams and pair well with nickel, brass or matte-black hardware for zipped pouches, organisers and everyday totes. Printed on premium 100% cotton, width 44"/112cm, weight 145gsm, this cloth sews smoothly, presses crisply and suits both machine and hand quilting. For cohesive projects, combine with other Heima prints: offset with Glacier Ice and Waterfall for cool clarity; add Ash or Obsidian for graphic contrast; weave in Mallard or Aurora for a botanical blue-green story; or warm with Volcano and Rhubarb for seasonal depth. This pale, knit-inspired blender supports patchwork & quilting, home décor, bag making and textile art with elegant restraint and year-round usefulness.
