Heather, a Philadelphia native, learned to appreciate a comfortable handknit as a winter necessity. With her Graphic Design degree from Philadelphia College of Textiles & Science in hand, she made her mark at IKEA with her innovative designs. California called and Heather answered when she relocated to Oceanside with her soon to be husband Thomas.
In the summer of 2004 Heather, a new knitter, saw the potential artistry in handknits. She opened NobleKnits West a mile from her home in one direction and the Pacific Ocean in the other. A popular, hip neighborhood hangout for lovers of fiber was born.
In 2007, Heather’s heart once again turned to design. She closed the shop and began a successful freelance design business. It wasn’t long before the yarn world beckoned her back. Encouraged by Nancy Queen, the reigning queen of NobleKnits (and her sister), Heather has developed Ewe Ewe Yarns, a 100% Australian merino wool spun in Italy. Soft on the hand with a brilliant color palette, Heather has a full line of original patterns to offer knitters of every skill level. Washable wool of this quality ensures that the gifts you knit will never sit in a drawer. You don’t have to be afraid of wearing Ewe Ewe yarn! Ewe Ewe Wooly Worsted Washable is an exceptional first launch. Stay tuned to see what else this talented designer, knitter and business woman has to offer.
Handknits are a year round fashion staple happening right now. Heather plans to continue designing forward into the future. She continues to be inspired at her home in Oceanside with her husband Thomas and their two very large, very crazy dogs. Contact her at heather@eweewe.com
