Knit 🧶 Crochet 🧶 Yarn 🧶 Hand dyed happiness since 2015. Became a husband and wife dyeing duo in 2021. Check out our large selection of yarn at www.thesheepyshire.com
We just came back from a weekend at the beach and I'm already dreaming about going back even though the sunburn from my failed sunscreen is still itching. Maybe if I get some beachy yarn on my needles and stick my feet in the sandbox I can pretend. #yarn is By the Sea Shore

I'm sneaking in a few minutes of crochet while Cooper is distracted with toys. This is Who Loves Orange Soda from our 90s advent from 2 years ago. We took off last year but we're excited to be doing another advent this year! The Far Out advent is available for preorder now!

The 33% off sale for our dye-off has been extended! We decided to bring the April Showers vs May Flowers battle into May to give you more time to snag these great prices. Both colors are still available on Staple Sock and Bliss MCN DK until the end of May. 🧶

Thank you to everyone that came to Knit Knot Natter during the NJ Wool Walk! I had so much fun getting to hang out Saturday and sharing our yarn with all of you.
We still have to reshelf the remaining #yarn but as you can see, we have some dyeing to do to fill our shelves back up #knitting #crochet

The Views Are Explosive was dyed by Mike for our Take a Hike #yarn subscription. I was very curious about this one and wasn't expecting the pop of blue but I love it! I dyed April's color and I'm excited to share it. The first round is shipping out tomorrow, but you still have time to join!

The new Yarns of the Month are here and 33% off. "April Showers" has already brought some early "May Flowers!" It's a dye-off month. We each dyed a brand new colorway and newsletter subscribers picked the two yarn bases for this month, Staple Sock (of course!) and Bliss MCN DK #yarn #crochet #knit 🧶

We're busy getting some last minute #yarn skeins labeled for our trunk show starting tomorrow at Grumpy Goat Fine Yarn in Port Jervis, NY! This is the always stunning What's Up Witches given a little glow up with the addition of sparkle on our Pixie DK base. 🧶 #knitting #crochet

Hopping Down the Bunny Trail is still 33% off Staple Sock and Super Squishy Worsted! It's worked well for us to increase the discount but limit the #yarn bases so we plan to do it again for April. Sign up for our newsletter to get a sneak peek later this week! #knitting #crochet

Thank you to everyone who came to Luv 2 Knit and More during the Philly Yarn Crawl this past weekend! If you weren't able to make it our #yarn is still there for a few more days! The colors in this photo are Roller Skates and Voila on Super Squishy Worsted. #knitting #crochet

I had been planning to make a fade using Skipper and #Plantmom (the two with labels) for quite a while now so I'm
excited to finally have finished it! I'll have 3 sets with me at Luv2knit and More for the Philly Yarn Crawl March 13-16th. Listing should be up on our website next week. #yarn #knitting

Feb's addition to the Take a Hike mystery #yarn sub, Wanderer. It was tricky to get the pinks just right. Its a fun challenge for us every month and I'm excited to keep going. This won't be available until next year, but it's not too late to sign up for March's color, it's HOT! #knitting #crochet

Lucky Charm always makes me think of Cooper since I dyed it last March before our little lucky charm was born on St Patrick's day. It looks like a basic green speckled #yarn until you look close! This is one color we're getting ready for Luv2knit and More for the Philly Yarn Crawl March 13th-16th! 🧶

March's Yarn of the Month is live! We changed things up with 33% off but only on 2 #yarn. We couldn't decided which bases so we let newsletter subscribers pick! Staple Sock was a clear winner with Super Squishy Worsted squeaking into 2nd. Our 20% off store wide sale ends tomorrow! #knitting #crochet

I've been chugging along #crocheting Leon's stuffie blanket. I'm happy to have a mindless project I can pick up and work on when I have 5 free minutes. A few disappeared to act as mini blankets. I decided to make it a bit bigger to be used as a lap blanket because I'm an overachiever. 🧶 #crochet

I finished #knitting this sweater almost 3 years ago but never took photos! I used a fluffy suri alpaca #yarn for the colorwork which adds really nice texture. Pattern is Pink Velvet by Andrea Mowery and yarn is our shire singles in Belladonna and Alpaca Floof in Mermaid Trouser Coughs 🧶

I wanted to cast on the CatKnit sweater by Andrea Rangel the moment I saw it. I wanted to dye a color to match the color Mike created for our first installment of the "Take a Hike" monthly mystery yarn. My goal was to make a pink that was dark yet somehow still vibrant. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

I'm excited to share that I'll be at Luv2Knit & More for the Philly Yarn Crawl on March 13th-16th! I'll be in store with lots of yarn and knit and crochet samples on the 13th and the yarn will remain for the rest of the crawl. I hope to see you there! 🧶

I was excited to wake up and hear birds outside! I had just been thinking how much I miss the sound. I know it's still early, but I can't help but think about the soft pastels in our Spring Has Sprung colorway. We have it in pick-your-base listing to make it easier to shop!

When my 4 year old practically begged for a blanket for his stuffies I can't resist! He wanted to dye the yarn and somehow fluorescent yellow, chartreuse, plum, blue, and two different oranges look gorgeous mixed together. This kid has an eye for color! I'm just winging the pattern. 🧶

Anyone else getting tired of winter? I'm ready for green trees and warm days. I've already been planning this years veggie and herb garden and am eager to start! These cheery green hues help bring a feeling of spring even in winter. The yarn colors are Water Lily and Emerald. #knitting #crochet
