History

Established in 1995.

Located in beautiful upstate New York near Rochester, you will find a long standing creative haven with a new name. What, for 22 years, was Sheep & Wool Shop has evolved into Bead & Fiber Fantasy. The sheep have moved to greener pastures and their shepherdess has yet another passion — beads & jewelry– in addition to knitting and spinning.

The new name, Bead & Fiber Fantasy, says it all! Explore the shop and you will find beautiful yarns, knitting supplies, spinning & felting materials, patterns, books, beads, and jewelry, along with knitted and beaded inspirations to transform your bead and fiber fantasies into beautiful, original realities.

Meet the Business Owner

Louise S.

Business Owner

More than 25 years, and one big change of location, later, I still operate the yarn shop that I originally named the Sheep & Wool Shop in the upstate New York town of Marion. This name fit well for the first 20 years of the business. Then, sometime in 2005, a friend invited me to a bead show, just for fun to see what it was like. That one visit caused my childhood love of rocks and minerals to resurface and quickly evolve into a passion for gemstone beads. Perhaps predictably, that new passion soon morphed into a fascination with all beads and with jewelry making.
