A number of smaller artisanal wool producers are springing up all over Canada, particularly in western Canada, where grazing lands were traditionally the domain of beef and dairy cattle.

Colourful and tempting yarns from brands like Noro, Debbie Bliss or Scheepjeswol are available in Canada, and create beautiful products that are fun to knit with, give even the average knitter great results, and can create stunning garments. However, these yarns have travelled a long way, contributing as they go to greenhouse gases just with the distances they have travelled. For Canadian knitters who want to use more natural fibres, and be more ecologically friendly, there’s no need to look farther than their own backyards!

Sheeples Yarns Makes Happy People

One such operation is Sheeples Fine Fibres in the Manitoba Interlake region. Run by Kim and Joe Strekker, the company's small flock produces some of the finest wools ever seen. Kim lovingly tends her flock, expanding it yearly through judicious breeding with her rams. The lambs are kept separate until grown enough to manage being in the larger flock, which is protected by their guard llama and sheepherding dog.
