Welcome to The Flock...
It's an amazing place to learn or practice new techniques in a community of supportive knitters.
About Us
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 30 days of 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
- access to the course library
(that's right, all the past courses stay for you for as long as you're a member).
all for just $45 when you join at the Shepherd/ess level.
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.

How do I register for a LIVE class?
When you join the Flock as a Shepherd/ess, you get a seat in our live virtual class AND project support for the next 30 days! That includes not only daily chat support, but the opportunity to come to studio hours for one-on-one help.
At day 25, you'll get an email reminding you the you can join in for the next month's course/class or choose to sit that one out. Re-join at any time.
Why a subscription?
Simple: it works out better for all of us!
Here's why:
Most places sell access to a class one at a time.
That means you have to buy them each individually and that's all you get.
and
I'd have to spend the time on administrative duties setting up each individual class and its logistics instead of spending the time developing new classes and content for us to learn!
When you're in the Flock, you're in the Flock.
Choose your level:
Farmhands get the self-paced course with chat support, access to the ENTIRE course library, plus a chance to knit and unwind.
For just $20 more, the Shepherd/ess level gives you access to the LIVE virtual classes, studio hours, knit and unwind times, chat support and the entire course library.
Is a subscription a forever commitment?
Absolutely not. In fact, it's just the opposite: it puts YOU in the driver's seat.
YOU decide when to start your month's membership.
YOU get an email reminder about the timing.
YOU decide to continue for the next awesome project and more learning, or cancel and sit the next month out.
If you cancel, YOUR content remains for when
YOU decide when to join back in!
