The story of Brown Sheep Company begins with a family farm in the North Platte River valley. E.W. Brown purchased the farmland that has remained in the family for over 100 years and counting. Mr. Brown raised a small flock of sheep on the farm, which he passed down to his son, Harlan Brown.
Harlan Brown continued raising sheep and farming until the mid-1970s, when farming prices were low and markets for lamb were diminishing. Harlan decided to take a leap of faith and after several years of research, he decided to switch gears and learn to process wool into yarn.
Brown Sheep Company has become one of the most well-known and loved yarn brands across the U.S. among knitters, crocheters, and crafters of all kinds. Although Brown Sheep Company no longer raises sheep on the family farm, they are proud to support U.S. wool growers and purchase the majority of their wool from Colorado and Wyoming.
