Artisanal yarns and handmade treasures abound
A shepherdess’s love for her flock comes alive in every warmly crafted wool creation found at Ten Good Sheep in Onancock. Described as “authentically artistic and certifiably cute since 1998,” the artisan store stocks a rainbow of hand-dyed, handspun, and locally sourced yarn and natural fibers. The sheep producing much of the material are raised nearby by owner and official shepherdess Karen Belknap, under the watchful guardianship of beloved herding dogs Captain Woolsey and Admiral Woolsey. The shop is transparent in each step of the yarn creation process, explaining the shearing, wool washing, and spinning on the company website and to curious in-person visitors. Once the long preparation of the fibers is done, it’s time to dye. The color palettes range from pastel to earthy to flashy to funky to warm. Knitters will rejoice in the sheer, or “shear,” variety of tones.
