Laughing Hens
Laughing Hens began on Nicki Trench’s Suffolk farm, inspired by her knitting group’s need for high-quality natural fibres. Named after the chatter likened to ‘laughing’ hens, it offers premium yarns and pattern inspiration rooted in tradition.
About Laughing Hens
The story of Laughing Hens begins with a knitting group run by designer Nicki Trench on her Suffolk based farm where chickens roamed. The group desperately yearned for somewhere that they could find high quality natural fibres, and taking the initiative, Nicki set to solving this quandary through the creation of her own company. When it came to naming the company, the tapping of knitting needles and chatter of the group was likened to the noise of the hens merrily ‘laughing’ away, as so the name Laughing Hens was born.
Laughing Hens is now run by father and son, John and Peter, based in Cheshire and is still committed to providing high quality natural fibre yarns to knitters and crocheters. With a background in natural fibres going back three generations and rooted in wool merchantry, in Laughing Hens we pride ourselves on not only being retailer of natural fibre yarn but providing a source of pattern inspiration.
