History

Established in 2014.

The Speckled Sheep LLC in Lancaster Pa was established in May 2014 by 3 young ladies inspired by the fiber arts. As a business we hope to help teach the community more about the fiber arts and help revive the traditions of old by bringing new life to crafts like knitting, spinning, weaving, crocheting, rug hooking and more.

Since May of 2014 we have expanded our selection of products to include not only commercially sourced products but also many local artisans. We now carry over 20 small businesses’, indie dyers’, artists’, farms’ and crafters’ products and that number grows each month.

Since opening we have also found that our customers wanted more convenient business hours so we modified them! While not customary for our industry we are open in the mornings at 9 and even have evening hours on Tuesdays now.
