![]() Getting to meet people through our community group on Facebook, through emails, and through our weekly live videos has helped us push through some of the hard growing pains we’ve experienced over the last couple of years. Some of our first posts on social media back in 2015Īnd to our customers, whether you have been here since the beginning or have joined us along the way, thank you so much!!! You continue to inspire us with your creativity and kindness. It’s been a lot of work to get to this point and it wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing support we’ve received. To the family, friends, employees, vendors, landlords, local yarn shops, and everyone that has helped us along the way, we are so incredibly grateful for you. ![]() Alex will be joining me to answer questions and talk a little bit more about the move.īad Sheep Yarn started back in 2015 with $300 and a dream. We will be hosting our weekly BSY Live video on Facebook and Instagram this Thursday at 5pm AKST. We know that sometimes life has other plans but this date will give us a little wiggle room. We plan on being back to operating at our usual standards by Monday, June 5th. Orders can still be made but we will be dying in smaller quantity batches and may have longer shipping times while we relocate. On May 12th we are putting all of our products on numbered stock while we move and relocate our studio out of state. We're excited for this next step as a company. ![]() We have dreams of opening up our new studio for tours, visiting some yarn shops that carry BSY, and attending festivals/events/yarn crawls. We love interacting with our customers and fellow yarnies but with our small studio space and semi-remote location, doing things like trunk shows and festivals and meet and greets have not been an option for us. We’re hoping this move will make us more accessible as a company. Part of our new shop space in Pensacola, Florida With them by our side, we feel like we can do anything! I am blown away that some of our staff is making the move with us! Our group of people are solid gold individuals and we’re so so grateful for them. We have a great network of family and friends in the Pensacola area, so it’s become an easy landing spot for us. We visited Pensacola with our family in January after deciding to move and really loved it. We’ve leased a 6700 sqft warehouse in Pensacola, Florida which is over six times the size of our current studio space!! On a personal level, we’ve always loved the East Coast and beaches. Alaska is such a massive part of our story and it will always feel like home to us. We’ve got big plans for the future and moving out of Alaska will open up new opportunities for us as a company.Īlthough we will no longer be an Alaskan company, our Alaska sets will remain in stock and available to purchase. We’ve hit some huge goals as a company over a short period of time and it’s inspired us to keep pushing forward. The growth has been amazing and exciting to watch. ![]() In the last 18 months we went from having one oven and one employee in our shop to having 4 ovens and 9 employees on payroll. We made a big jump to move the business out of our home and start hiring employees. We made a decision in 2019 to really start growing Bad Sheep as a brand and a business. The last 4 years at BSY have felt like a whirlwind. This is such a huge step for our business and our family that is both exciting and terrifying.Īlex and I with our three daughters, Isla, Summer, and Galilee We are packing our yarns, our ovens, our dyes, our kids and our dog and moving out of our hometown of North Pole, Alaska! (*Gasp!*)Īlex and I have lived in Alaska our entire lives, never moving further than across town. We have some pretty big news and I’ll just cut right to it. ![]()
