Heidi lives with her high school sweetheart on a small urban farm where they raise chickens, keep bees, grow organic veggies and flowers and maintain a small fruit orchard. Together they have raised 4 boys and now enjoy being grandparents and fur baby parents to Juggernaut the newfy and an ungrateful rescue kitty named Booty.

Heidi is the creative force behind her parent company - heidi hennessy -, where her passion for knitting merges with her entrepreneurial flair to form a distinguished knitting atelier of finished knitwear, yarn and education.

With years of experience as a knitter, designer, and educator, she designs and manufactures a collection of opulent cashmere knit accessories under the brand name Heidi Hennessy, that promise to elevate your wardrobe and home with her laid back luxury style.
through her online courses at The Knitting Machine School, she aspires to impart the craft of machine knitting to enthusiasts, nurturing a new generation of artisans.
here At Coastal Cashmere, Heidi takes pride in sourcing and providing exquisite cashmere yarn, empowering the community of imaginative creators to bring their visions to life.
