About The Morehouse Merino Flock
About The Flock
Knitting is good for you: mind, body and soul.
It gets you excited about the possibilities. The colors, the textures, the patterns...
It make you think about the future - what you're going to make next .
It maintains your coordination and dexterity, and keeps your hands moving in a way traditional exercise ignores. .
It gives you a sense of accomplishment when you're able to
And when the rest of the world keeps taking, knitting is something you can give yourself. Relax, refill, and recharge... something you probably don't get nearly enough!
Morehouse Farm is the first superfine Merino sheep farm in America! Located in New York's Hudson Valley, we grow the softest farm yarn you'll ever feel. We spin our yarn in 5 different weights and have 118 colorways to choose from for projects that inspire creativity.

Each month, we host a project dedicated to learning and practicing our craft.
Each project comes with a LIVE virtual class conducted via Zoom and project support via
- a self-paced course which breaks the project down into daily goals
- video tutorials so that you have THE video you need when you need it
(no more wasting an hour to find *the* one on YouTube!)
- studio hours to answer questions you have on any project
- chat support
- times to knit and unwind with your fellow members
- 24/7 access to the course library
Our community encourages each other with three guiding principles:
1) Be good to each other - and yourself
2) You can't say the word can't unless it's followed by the word YET
3) Behind isn't a project status, it's only something you sit on.
All skill levels are welcome! Whether you've just picked up your needles for the first time, the first time since yesterday, or the first time in a long time, you'll find your people in the Flock.
