You can farm an unlimited amount of Knot Resin by defeating the Shadow Husks near the Moorth Ruins site of Grace. They will respawn every time you rest at the Grace, allowing you to kill them, loot their bodies, and then rest again to respawn them. Since Knot Resin is not a guaranteed drop, you will need to repeat this process several times.

However, they won't respawn when you rest at the Grace. Instead, you'll need to die by jumping off the nearby cliff or letting enemies kill you to make them respawn. Since they are guaranteed to spawn after each death, you only need to repeat this process a few times to accumulate a large quantity of this crafting material.
