Short profile:

At Black Hills we are passionate about our natural coloured organic wool. We have united our love of high quality, natural coloured yarn with various designs by Tracy Cox in the UK and other designers from New Zealand. Now you can enjoy knitting wonderful woollen garments that look-and feel-unique.

The UK company was launched at the Knitting & Stitching Exhibition at the The Alexander Palace October 2007 to great acclaim. The Blackhills Stand was the only one in the exhibition showing natural coloured, organic wool.

The wool comes straight from The Black Hills farm in South Island, New Zealand to the UK company. You can order from us in the UK today and start knitting 14 days later (or even sooner).

Why not arrange to visit our shop in Henley-on-Thames, here in beautiful Oxfordshire, so you can see and touch our wonderful wool and many of our garments for yourself before you decide.

Detailed description:

Nothing feels softer or more natural than real wool. A hand made garment, crafted by a skilled and talented knitter, is unmistakeable in both look and feel. At Black Hills, we understand and share your passion. Please don’t think because the wool is a “natural colour” we are only producing white. We have five beautiful colours, ivory, silver, slate, ebony and cinnamon. These are also blended to give four more duos of colour.

If you’d like to create a unique garment you’ll find the natural coloured wool from Corriedale and Romney sheep lovingly reared in the magnificent Black Hills of Hurunui, New Zealand just perfect. Whether it’s a sweater for a loved one or something special for yourself, you’ll be surprised at the comments you’ll receive about the great quality and look. Because Black Hills wool is undyed there are no chemicals in the production of the wool and it therefore has a “lowered prickle factor” making it very soft and cosy to wear.

Our designs are very simple to show off the quality of the wool. Take a few minutes now to explore this treasure trove of specially designed garments and accessories for you to knit.

When you buy from Black Hills, you get more than just high quality natural coloured organic wool, you’ll also get inspiring, accurate patterns in exactly the size you require. Then there’s that unique quality – that simply can’t be bought. Our range is increasing all the time, so once you have knitted your garment keep watching for new designs which will be introduced regularly.

You are buying into the heritage, pride and courage that made farming in New Zealand possible in years gone by and which continues today.
