Hickory

Hickory is a rich, earthy brown inspired by aged timber, woodland paths and the quiet beauty of nature. Warm, grounded and effortlessly versatile, this hand-dyed colourway features subtle tonal variation that adds depth and character while maintaining a beautifully cohesive appearance. Timeless and dependable, Hickory is the kind of shade you'll reach for again and again.

Inspired by Woodland Tones

Drawing inspiration from weathered wood, forest floors and natural fibres, Hickory celebrates the understated elegance of earthy neutrals. Gentle shifts between warm brown and soft taupe tones create visual depth without overpowering your project, making it an ideal choice for both classic and contemporary designs.

The result is a colourway that feels calming, sophisticated and endlessly wearable, whether used alone or paired with brighter shades for contrast.

Perfect for Knitting and Crochet

Hickory works beautifully across a wide range of knitting and crochet projects. The subtle tonal variation enhances stitch definition while maintaining a refined and elegant appearance.

This colourway is particularly well suited to:

  • Sweaters and cardigans
  • Shawls and wraps
  • Hats and accessories
  • Heritage-inspired projects
  • Textured stitch patterns
  • Crochet garments and homewares

Hand-Dyed with Character

Every skein of Hickory is individually hand-dyed in Suffolk, meaning no two skeins will ever be exactly alike. These natural variations are part of the beauty of hand-dyed yarn and help create finished projects with depth, texture and individuality.

For larger projects such as garments and shawls, we recommend purchasing all the yarn required at the same time to ensure the closest possible colour match.

Whether you're creating a timeless wardrobe staple, a cosy accessory or a treasured heirloom piece, Hickory brings natural warmth and understated elegance to every stitch.
