A Modern Yarn Company

It has been almost 10 years since we last re-did our website. A lot has change in the last decade! Most importantly, for a website, 10 years ago most people accessed websites on a computer. But now people are just as likely to visit our site on their phone or tablet as from a laptop. This requires a different approach to website design. Our goal with the redesign is to have a site that is easy to view on any device so that you can quickly and easily see what is new. We want to keep things fresh, clean and uncluttered!

Our personal lives have also changed in the last decade. Laura now has three young children and Kelly is edging towards retirement. (UPDATE: As of January 2023, Kelly is now retired!) We are still committed to bringing you new colors, clubs and kits through The Unique Sheep but other demands on our time have made our schedules less flexible. To ensure that we can still fill orders in a timely manner we are shifting our business model to focus more on new releases and limited edition offerings and less on our pre-existing color collections. Kelly’s colorways have been discontinued with her retirement. Laura’s colorways will re-emerge occasionally for limited times.

As in all industries over the past few years, we have struggled with yarn shortages and freight shipping delays. Combined with our shifting business model, this has led us to offer fewer yarn bases “in stock” at a time. Many of our yarn bases will only be available while we are doing a club or KAL featuring those yarns. We will continue to keep our most popular yarns- Kiri, Verve, Eos and a few more- in stock as long as we are able. If you need one of our bases that is showing as out of stock and you either have a large order or don’t mind waiting until the next time we place a mill order please email us to arrange a custom order.
