Stockbridge, Massachusetts · Berkshire County
From sheepto stitch.
A family-run sheep farm and breed-specific yarn shoppe in the historic Stockbridge train station. Our Romney, Lincoln Longwool and Romeldale/CVM flock graze the pastures at Naumkeag; their wool becomes the yarn on our shelves.
Meadow of Wool
A farm first. A shoppe second.
Prado de Lana means Meadow of Wool. We are the Barcenas family: Amanda, Alberto, Sam and Noelia. Agriculture and sustainable living have always been at the front of what we do, and every skein with our name on it started as grass in a Southern Berkshire pasture.
Breed-specific yarn
Wool that tastes of its breed: Romney's bounce, Lincoln's lustre, CVM's natural colour. Never anonymous.
Curated from small makers
Every brand on our shelves is a farmer or small business that cares about sustainable, truly gorgeous fibre.
Guarded by Teddy & Hugo
Two brave Great Pyrenees keep watch over a grass-fed flock, year round, in the heart of the Berkshires.

How a skein happens
Six steps from pasture to your needles.
Traceable means you can point at the sheep. Here is the whole journey, and nothing is hidden along the way.
Graze
Grass-fed on lush pastures at Naumkeag, moved with the seasons.
Shear
Once a year, each fleece comes off in one piece on shearing day.
Skirt & sort
Hands pick out the hay and grade every fleece by breed and colour.
Mill
Washed, carded and spun by a small New England mill we trust.
Skein
Twisted, tagged with its town name, and shelved at the station.
Stitch
You cast on. The meadow becomes a sweater.
From Oaxaca to the Berkshires
Colour that crossed a continent.
Hand-embroidered textiles and handwoven wool blankets from Oaxaca share the shelves with our own farm yarn.

Notes from a shepherdess

Guardians of the Flock
Since the domestication of sheep, shepherds have had a very special relationship with guardian dogs.

From Sheep to Stitch
On our first shearing day, we had exactly ten sheep to shear. I don't even remember what that feels like.
