Heather's Heathers Worsted Weight Merino Yarn
Heather's Heathers Worsted Weight Merino Yarn
Moody, heathered depth meets our signature merino squish. ☁️🍂
There is a beautiful, quiet comfort in watching a heathered fabric grow on your circular needles. It’s the subtle, shifting dance of color that gives classic sweaters, warm beanies, and cozy cowls a sophisticated, lived-in feel.
To create Heather’s Heathers, we took 10 of our most beloved classic Wooly Worsted yarn colors and blended a soft touch of silver and charcoal directly into the spin. The result is a gorgeous, moody collection of multi-toned shades that add rich visual texture to every single row.
Because it is built on the exact same foundation as our signature worsted line, it features our high-twist, 3-ply construction. That means you don't have to sacrifice a thing—you still get the same springy bounce, excellent stitch definition, and split-free knitting experience you love, now with an added layer of cozy heathered depth.
The Ultimate Colorwork Shortcut
My favorite trick as a designer? Pair any heathered shade directly with its original solid Wooly Worsted counterpart. Because the color properties match perfectly, they create a flawless, tone-on-tone "winning color combination" in stripes, mosaic colorwork, or textured slip-stitches without any of the color-matching guesswork.
Spun from premium Australian merino wool and dyed in Italy, luxury doesn’t mean high-maintenance rules here. Heather's Heathers is 100% superwash, so it safely goes right into the regular family wash in cool water and can tumble dry on low. It blooms beautifully after blocking, staying plush, springy, and blissfully soft against bare skin wash after wash. Skip the winding fatigue, choose your dream tones, and settle into a relaxing evening of pure stitching joy.

Looks and feels great. I have another project to complete before start this. I may just save this for a vacation treat!
Another great pattern for beginners. Very easy to follow and the kits have interesting color combinations or create your own combination.
Always liked Heather’s patterns (made several different ones)
I love the kit, I did think I was going to be able to get a pdf of the pattern as well. Anyway I can get this?

How can I get the download to use for Charity Knitting? Thank you.
This yarn is perfect for any project. It works up easily and the stitch definition is superb. I knit a sweater with the color lavender, it is just beautiful. The only drawback, and it is minor, is that it is sold as 50 gram balls; 100 grams would be ideal.
I love the my color choice (Ewe deep blue sea) for this Shawl kit. The yarn is so soft and very easy to knit!
Great little reminder to fix an OOPS! Great tool.
