We’re a family run business made up of mum, daughter and most importantly Buster, the loyal sidekick and hearing dog. Together, we’re the team behind Hills & Heather, a hand-dyed yarn business creatively inspired by wild landscapes, animal life and all things nature.
Our colourways connect with the seasons, the outdoors and our favourite landscapes turning them into something soft and tangible. You’ll find extracts of our walks in the colourways, the purple haze of blooming heather, the silver mist of early morning fields or perhaps the soft gold of late summer. We also have a local peacock who often wanders through our garden showing off his shimmering blues and greens.
Each skein is dyed in small batches using sustainable dyes on superwash yarns. We focus on sock yarns and mini skeins perfect for heels, toes, and those thoughtful little details that make handmade knits sing.
Thanks for stopping by and visiting our website.
Sock Yarn
Our core yarn base is a beautifully soft, hard-wearing sock yarn – perfect for everything from cosy socks to lightweight shawls and baby knits. Each skein is hand-dyed in small batches.
Mini Skeins
We love the little details – so we make mini skeins too! Ideal for adding contrast heels and toes, colourful cuffs, or blending into a fade. These also make great stash-builders for scrappy projects or gifts.
Double Knit Yarns
For projects that need a bit more squish and warmth, we also offer a small selection of DK weight yarns. Just like our sock bases they're hand-dyed in small batches.
