The Shear Joy

From our flock to your hands

Raising sheep & educating felters since 2008

Bear Creek Felting creates pasture-to-product felting kits for makers of all skill levels. We raise sheep on our North Dakota farm, process the wool in our fiber mill, and teach you how to create with it. 

A simple moment of connection in every handful of wool

Everything begins with our sheep. No matter how busy life gets, they remind us to find the softness amidst the little bits of chaos.

This was so fun! I’ve wanted to try needle felting for a long time and finally took the plunge with this kit, and so glad I did! I can’t wait to start my next project.

"Kit had everything I needed, and the instructions were really clear. There was more than enough wool for the project- I had enough to add a tummy and wings! This was my first time felting and I’m really pleased with how well it turned out. Definitely recommend this kit!!"

Even the BOX is high quality! 😁 This is a very user-friendly felting project for a newbie (which I am). The descriptions are thorough, the natural wool fiber is beautiful, and I'm really excited to get started. Super fast shipping and excellent quality all around.

 I ordered several kits from different sellers and this one stands out. The quality of materials and the packaging are superior.

Retreats

Gather with fellow felters to share a love of creating. Our in-person retreats are spent felting, laughing, making lasting friendships over chef-prepared meals, and even meeting our sheep.

From Pasture to Product

First we raise the sheep

On our family farm in North Dakota, we keep our flock healthy and thriving. Happy sheep make wool that felts beautifully.

From Pasture to Product

Then we process the wool

We stay connected to the journey by carefully shearing our sheep’s wool every year and processing it in our own mill.

Lastly, we design and package it

This is the part where the wool goes from our hands to yours. We design the projects, assemble the kits, and even teach you how to create with them.
