Nestled in the hills overlooking the Latrobe Valley Heather melds her scientific skills with her love of colour and creativity to create Heathermaid yarns and patterns. Heathermaid is known for specialised self-striping yarn, as well as high quality semi-solid, variegated and speckled colourways.

Heather loves to experiment in her home studio surrounded by the inspiring landscapes, and her cheeky Alpaca friends. As a knitter Heather initially struggled to put the right combinations of colours together. This challenge led her to closely research colour theory, learning the rules- and then having fun breaking them!
The colours in Heathermaid yarns are drawn from the natural world around us, and through her dyes Heather tries to capture some of the bright blossoms, stunning birds and landscapes and translate them into colourful fibre art.
