Product Description
Knit Sorrel from the Heima by Gudrun Erla for Andover Fabrics
Sorrel-olive ground with tiny Nordic knit stars
Knit Sorrel translates the comfort of Icelandic knitwear into cloth for patchwork and sewing. On a calm sorrel-olive ground, neat star-like stitches repeat in an even cadence, echoing motifs from traditional lopapeysa jumpers. The effect is a refined small-scale print that reads almost solid from a distance yet rewards a closer look with a soft, knitted rhythm. Part of Heima—a collection celebrating the textures and colours of home and landscape—this versatile green sits beautifully with glacier blues, basalt greys and warm volcanic reds. As an olive green quilting cotton, it brings natural warmth and a Nordic sensibility to modern and traditional blocks, while the tidy spacing keeps the surface uncluttered. Naturally woven long-tail phrases include: olive green quilting cotton UK, Nordic knit motif fabric, sorrel green cotton print for bags, Scandinavian quilting blender.
Use Knit Sorrel for restful quilt backgrounds, tidy sashing and borders, or bindings that add texture without stealing focus. It’s elegant for home décor sewing—cushions, table runners, placemats and fabric baskets—where its subtle print feels timeless and easy to live with. Bag makers will appreciate how the tiny motifs curve neatly around seams and complement antique brass, nickel or matte black hardware on zipped pouches, organisers and structured totes. Printed on premium 100% cotton, width 44"/112cm, weight 145gsm, this fabric sews smoothly, presses crisply and suits both machine and hand quilting. For cohesive results, pair with other Heima prints: combine with Glacier Ice and Waterfall for cool balance, anchor with Basalt greys for definition, or warm with Saddle and Volcano for an earthy palette. Whether you’re planning a heritage-leaning quilt, Scandi-style home décor or everyday accessories, this olive knit-inspired quilting fabric works as a dependable textured blender with character.
