Sheepy Yarn Shoppe

Our local color for this year's shop hop is the famous local landmark, The Fillebrown House located 2 blocks for our shop. This lovely old house on the National Historic Register is 134 years old. Each year over 1500 people visit the house for tours, parties and special events.  Most of these visits are during the holiday season. Nicknamed the victorian "Red Chalet", it was donated to the White Bear Lake Area Historical society in 1977 by Arthur and Helen Fillebrown.

As knitters or crocheters, we enjoy a very portable, stress relieving hobby. Creating items from favorite fibers and colors is so rewarding!. When you visit us be sure to check out the huge selection of yarns, patterns, accessories and books. All of our employees are very knowledgeable and are happy to help with any project or answer any questions. Direct access to Ravelry is available at the front desk. Classes are scheduled every day of the week except Monday, although we are always open on Monday. Drop in any Monday or Friday afternoon for the free "help table", staffed by an instructor who can answer any questions or help with any pattern problem.

My passion for knitting and crocheting began when I decided to buy the Shoppe in 1991. I was able to dedicate full time to it when I retired from the corporate world the same year. Living in Argentina, South America for 11 years exposed me to the world of Llama, Alpaca, Guanaco and Vicuna as well as great wools and pima cottons. Everyone seemed to use their space time to crochet or knit.

Sheepy Yarn Shoppe will be celebrating its 23rd anniversary this year on May 13. We invite you to celebrate with us, check us out and do plan to visit the lovely old victorian "Red Chalet" Fillebrown House.  Downtown WBL has many speciality shops, restaurants and most of all, we are located next to a large municipal free parking lot.

We look forward to seeing you.
