OUR MISSION

Brown Sheep Company, Inc. is committed to producing quality wool and natural fiber yarns.  As a three generation family business, we are proud to carry on the tradition of making exceptional products with attention to detail every step along the way.

Wool is resilient, adaptable, and timeless. We strive to emanate those same qualities as a company by bringing you consistently excellent yarn, while continuing to advance by developing new products and continually improving our practices to invest in the future.

Made with integrity from our mill in Nebraska, we know our yarns bring happiness, joy and warmth to handcrafters across the country and around the world.
