Mystery Dyer

Can you identify the mystery dyer?
I have a secret, there are mystery skeins of yarn coming to the store.
Who it the dyer?
What do the skeins look like?
Do you want to know?
The Sweet Sheep will receive an order of secret skeins.  We will put them up for sale, but you will not get to see them until they hit your doorstep.
Are you up for a little mystery.
The Dyers are random…they may not even be a dyer that is carried in the store.
Shipping is included, all skeins are enough for a pair of socks.
Do you want a little sock mystery in your life?

I will anounce the date that the skeins will go on sale through the newsletter and the blog.

FYI this is not related to the current contest…still waiting for entries!

Anyone Interested….

in coming to see my yarns in person??

I am currently setting up a physical shop in my cutsie new house for The Sweet Sheep…and let me tell you…it’s pink!

I will have everything set up so you can come in and see what the yarns feel like and pet them all!  I should not be the only one tempted by them daily.

So my question to you is…if I open up the shop to appointment visits would anyone be interested in stopping in? The shop is located in Newcastle Ontario, which is about an hour East of Toronto. It is a really cute little village with some great shops downtown.

Let me know what you think!?! Come on lurkers…speak up! If you are shy…please feel free to email me at SALES AT THESWEETSHEEP DOT COM

Happy Tuesday…take a minute for yourself today.

Mama E Highs!

I am just starting to turn the heel on my second Mama E High!

I am soooo excited and thrilled about these socks.

knee.jpg

I can’t wait until they are done…see those nasty ladders? I have tried a million different things to get rid of them…nothing is working…my next pair of knee highs are going to have to be magic loop or two circs…the only problem is these methods scare the heck out of me!

highs.jpg
My feet look really long in this picture..they are not I wear a size 9..and I like my socks snug so I usually knit them smaller than I need them…nothing like saggy socks to get a girl down.

The yarn is:

Sweet Sheep Signature by Mama E, I only have 2 more skeins in the store and we are planning on changing our colourways, so go grab them if you want them.

The pattern is just a hit and miss pattern. I just cast on and when I got the number that fit…I went with it and decreased as needed.

By the way new stock of All Things Heather

Some Amazing colourways!

Limited Edition yarns

mamma-e.jpg

 

New Yarns from Ceyeberfibers! These colourways are limited edition due to the technique they are dyed with.

Mama E has discovered an amazing new process for dyeing that creates a marbling effect in the yarns.

No two skeins are alike, nor can they be reproduced.

I am working on a sample…pictures to come soon…the yarns are incredible.

We have a very limited number in stock. Click the picture to go to the store.

 

We also have absolutely adorable Knitting Ornaments hand made by Mama E.

These are also limited to stock on hand and will only be offered this one time

Check them out!

 

We still have spots availible in the fiber club. The club will be an on going venture for The Sweet Sheep.

We are offering the 2 month membership so that people can try it out. No need to worry, we will have a guest dyer in one of those two months.

 

So far confirmed is Ceyeberfibers and SweetGeorgia.

ETA:
