Welcome to The Painted Sheep! We specialize in handpainted yarn and spinning fiber. Our current offerings include 7 varieties
of yarn and 5 varieties of spinning fiber, handpainted in more than 40 unique colorways.
With fall approaching
quickly (too quickly!), we've been busy in the dye studio. The shop is well stocked with yarn and fiber, in gorgeous, rich tones
for autumn. All 7 of our yarns are in stock, ranging from lace weight to heavy worsted weight. In spinning fiber, we have
BFL, alpaca blend and merino superwash rovings. We also have a wide range of Knitspot patterns to compliment your yarn and fiber
choices. Everything you need to knit up something warm and cozy for fall!
We're also gearing up for festival season!
We have two exciting events coming up. On Sunday, September 22, we'll be at the Coventry Regional Farmer's Market fall fiber
festival. The festival takes place during the Market's normal hours of 11-2 and will feature a wide variety of local fiber
farmers, spinners and dyers. The Painted Sheep will have a booth filled to the brim with our colorful yarns and fibers.
The Farmer's Market is located at the Hale Homestead in Coventry, Connecticut. Check their website for details. On Saturday,
October 4, we'll have a booth at the Nutmeg Spinner's Guild meeting. As usual, the meeting takes place at
Asnuntuck Community College in Enfield, Connecticut. Check out their website for details about the meeting.
