If you would like to see some of our fiber collaboration stop by and check it out on Sunday!

There will be a variety of fibers and a few handspun yarns too!

C and I have successfully landed in Texas where we will be taking a week or so to hang out with our friend Funky Carolina…yes there will be dyeing and fibers brought home…you never leave Funky C’s without some fiber!

In the meantime, with all the changes being made here I wanted to get some of your input…I love to hear what you think and have had several suggestions for improvement for the site which I will certainly be looking at in the next 6 months…but I want to know what your interests are yarn/fiber wise

If you do on see a selection you would choose here you can leave me a comment or email me at salesATthesweetsheep.com

I have done a TON of knitting in the last few weeks which I will be blocking and photographing shortly so stay tuned!

Things I did not know…

As we are traveling around I have come across many things about America that I did not know such as:

-There is snow in the desert…lots of it…up high…and just when you pull out your t-shirt and sandals you might also need to pull out your winter coat…again. Today we attempted to go to the Grand Canyon…but when we encountered 5 foot snow banks…these two Canadians headed straight south.

-There are many things in America that includes the word American such as: American Cheese, American Fries, American super gas, Travel America gas. This is something I didn’t know….well I knew about the cheese, but I don’t think we call many things canadian….the only thing I can think of is Canadian bacon…but we don’t actually call it Canadian bacon in Canada…can anyone help me out with this one?

-American companies LOVE huge statues! I have seen huge Cowboys, Mice, dinosaurs, cavemen and countless more…I am really enjoying these.

-Gas is WAY less expensive here…thank you…this makes the trip so much more enjoyable.

So Far C and I are having a blast. We are currently in Arizona and heading to New mexico tomorrow…I am so excited to see these two states as they are vastly different from Ontario.

As for the shop things are slowly rolling in so keep checking back to see your favorite yarns come in.

After a handful of requests I will be opening up the Sweet Sheep Fiber club again in Feb. The first shipment will go out in March when I return, I am really excited to be doing this again…I love dyeing the fiber club…info is here and spots will go up in the next few weeks!
