What's Happening?
Want to beat the high price of gas? Try car-pooling. Put four people in the car and split the cost of a shopping trip. That way, no one will pay more than one dollar a gallon.
New Product - Yarns from a women's co-op in Chile, S.A.
We have a number of projects going. Check them out.
Be Creative!
Why make a sweater exactly as shown in the pattern? Learn how to customize as much as you like - the yarn, color, sleeves, length, collar, style (cardigan or pullover).
Check out the current sweater classes, especially the
sweater workshop and the Elizabeth Zimmerman sweater. Develop the ability to do whatever strikes your fancy.

Attention Knitters: Did you ever wonder why some people spin their own yarn when yarn shops have a large variety of yarns already spun? Well, lots of people wonder why you take the trouble to knit a sweater when you can buy one ready-made. See more on these questions. |

Handspun Yarns
From time to time we have a limited amount of undyed, bulky handspun yarn from our own sheep (Shetlands and Shetland crosses). It makes incredibly warm garments for winterwear.

Needles Carried at Sheep Street
Needles are the essential tool for knitters, so we try to keep in stock all the sizes of the Addi Turbo needles from Skacel. We also carry bamboo straight and circular needles from Crystal Palace, Brittany, and Chougoo.
We also carry Denise Interchangeable Needles. They feel great, have an extremely smooth "join," and are a very economical way to have lots of different size needles with you at all times! Come in and try out the sample set.
We carry needles in rosewood and ebony. These last two are available in 14" straights, 4" DP (yes, 4"), 8" DP, and 24", 32", and 40" circular. We do not have all sizes in the exotic woods, but we will order any you wish at any time.
