Marcie has worked at Yarns on First for the past 2 years and is thrilled to be taking over the business, with both Randy and Jess assisting.

New Local Yarn and a Trunk Show

Sincere Sheep 

 Based in California's Napa Valley and drawing from local and national sources, Brooke Sinnes created Sincere Sheep to reflect the essence of her landscape and love of color. Her naturally dyed fiber, labeled with the names of farms and animals, allows knitters and fiber artists to connect with the location in an intimate way.

With the enthusiastic reception of the Terroir Fiber Series, Sincere Sheep has rapidly expanded to include farms sourced farther afield. Among the various weights of fingering, lace, and worsted, Brooke now offers alpaca, cashmere, linen, and silk yarns.

Reinforcing this sense of place and community connection, Yarns on First and Sincere Sheep proudly present local materials for our market and beyond, If you're a Napa native, come get some yarn to knit something truly home made. If you're visiting us here, take a bit with you and create your own Napa Valley artistry with Sincere Sheep's naturally beautiful yarns and fibers.
