Why I designed these yarns 🎨

Color should feel exciting, not overwhelming.

Every shade in the Ewe Ewe palette is curated to coordinate across our yarn weights. Choose a bold pop like Berry or Sunshine, or build a soft neutral palette with Wheat, Vanilla, or Mocha. Find a shade you love and use it again and again.

Superwash merino, designed for real life πŸ‘

All Ewe Ewe yarns are 100% superwash merino wool. It's Australian merino, spun and dyed at a mill in Italy to my specifications. The mill doesn't make this yarn for any other brand.

πŸ‘Ά
Soft enough for baby garments
🧢
Smooth stitch definition for sweaters
πŸ’ͺ
Durable enough for everyday wear
🧺
Machine washable for modern life

I design yarn for knitters who actually wear their projects, not just display them.

A little more about me ✨

Heather Walpole of Ewe Ewe Yarns

Before yarn, I worked as a professional graphic designer for newspapers, a small ad agency, and IKEA North America after graduating from Philadelphia University. Then my sister lured me into the yarn world, we co-owned a yarn shop together, and I never looked back.

πŸ”¨ Lifelong DIYer: I paint, sew, cook and build furniture 🏠 I once helped replace both a roof and a radiator πŸ’‘ If I can learn it, I'll try it 🧒 My favorite thing to knit? Hats. They fit in my hands just right.
Come knit with me! I run a bi-weekly knitting group at a local spot in Oceanside, CA. You should come sometime!

Ewe Ewe Yarns is still a small business of one (plus my husband sometimes!). I design the yarn, build the website, answer your emails, and ship every skein myself.

This company is my favorite hobby and my life's work. 🎨
