4worldlovers:
Welcome to "Sheared Sheep"We often hear our customers refer to our shop as "the Sheep”. We have been your local yarn shop since 2005. We were located in Costa Mesa for 6 years. We have relocated to Newport Beach in charming Westcliff Court. Our new location is nestled in a cozy courtyard off the main walkway. The courtyard is a calming beautiful area through which you pass to enter our store. Our many lavish fibers and colors are enough to tempt even the most discerning knitter and crocheter. With our cozy and friendly vibe, there is always something new to learn at the Sheared Sheep.


We pride ourselves in being your local yarn shop. We encourage a friendly environment and hope you will return often. As our Master Knitter and teacher, Martha often says, "Knit faster, buy more yarn”.

We welcome you to our intimate yarn shop. Hope to see you soon!
