I love love love this store and the people who work here. The yarns here are great quality and beautiful colors. I especially love the sirdar jewelspun chunky with wool yarn (color blend: mother of Pearl..check out my video for how gorgeous these colors were) where I managed to get two beanies out of a single ball! But the best thing here are the lessons by Carrie Au. I'm a teacher myself and I can recognize an excellent teacher and Carrie is absolutely that. With just two lessons from her, I was able to basically do everything I needed to make 90% of what I could ever want to make. I then had spent a couple of months crocheting different things and came back for another more advanced lesson. Carrie knows all the yarn arts and can do things both right and left handed. And she has so many helpful tips that she's learned from experience that I never saw on any YouTube video or website tutorial (and in fact there are popular things out there i learned from her were NOT good things to do). If you want to learn (crochet or knitting), so worth coming here to take lessons (beginner through advanced). The other benefit is that their yarns and hooks are good quality so if you start here, you'll have such a better time and be more likely to continue. read more

The Sated Sheep - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Dripping Springs, Texas

See all

First, the sheep is sated by her attention to the coffee and wine bar in the shop (how cool is this!). There is a large table next to the bar where classes and gatherings can be held. Another Very Smart Thing is that the yarns are sorted by gauge and cutely and clearly marked. The person on staff was helpful and I enjoyed talking with her. If I find myself in the area I'll certainly stop again. read more

Service, selection, warm inviting atmosphere. The layout is like candy to the eye! So many pretty colors and products.

Allison Wilcox finally had enough and sold it. She's a bitter woman who should never be around children. She is snappy with customers. Made parents of young children sit outside in the summer heat while the kids took a class. Of course, while the entire front seating area of the store was open, because they 'didn't buy anything'. Guess she forgot the boy that was taking the class had just spent $250 . . . That's not a typo, nor is he old enough for employment, so I guess the mom DID spend money. But that is just Allison Wilcox. She even had CPS called to the store as her right hand employee, Carrie Au, smacked a child in the forehead during summer camp! Awful, just stay clear . . . read more

Go in for a great experience that adds to your quality of life. The Sated Sheep has beautiful variety and community events and is a great element of the Dripping Springs culture. I'm grateful to have a shop committed to only yarn. read more

Great selection of yarns! It's a must go to place for all things knitting/crocheting. Stellar customer service and support if you get stuck on a project, someone is always willing to help you get back on track. read more

The owner was so nice to me when I showed up and knew I had to make something for a baby, but didn't know what. She was patient and kind and really helped me a lot. I left with baby yarn and a plan. read more

My review is for an online sale and not a visit to the shop. I stumbled upon this store when I was looking up a certain UK yarn and found that The Sated Sheep carried the amount of skeins I needed. I bought online, no problems and asked for the yarn to be wound. The owner emailed me later that day and explained there would just be a slight delay as she had packaged the yarn already and hadn't seen the note to wind the yarn. But she would open the package back up and wind my yarn for me! I am very grateful for the time and care she took to emailing me and explaining the delay. Very kind and professional. I hope to one day visit the store if I'm ever in that area! read more

Standard selection of yarns and notions. They also sell wine! They joined the annual Hill Country Yarn Crawl this year. The owners are very nice which makes up for the sort of plain strip mall feel. The hospitality and warmth alone create an aura you will find in the more "cozy" places like Ply. read more

Good little store, frequented it a couple times to give local small businesses traffic rather than amazon. Some items seem overpriced. Made a special trip just to go here and they closed at least half an hour early, I guess Amazon will be my go to. If you need something immediately and call ahead this is a good spot! read more

Rude women work here. If you ask for yarn, you may get a sarcastic tone back. I mentioned that I need yarn and what I'm knitting. She responded back with a snobby attitude, telling me what I need to do instead of suggesting ideas. They were all drinking wine so maybe it's because a customer interrupted her? I'm not sure. The yarn is high priced too. Skip the rudeness and head somewhere else. If they want customers, they should be kinder. She only lightened up when she thought I was about to buy. read more

SATED SHEEP! Wow what a great night! Many shared in an amazing experience of wine/yarn tastings! We received sample yarns to maintain our gauge for future projects, ( classes will be forthcoming, including sock classes) It could not have been better! Thanks Allison for being so creative, and being here in Dripping Springs! We tasted a Tuscan white and red and a delightful Argentine bubbly Rose with prosciutto, speck, ham and four cheeses (Chandoka, young comte, mycella and burantini) from sustainable small American farms Our tasting yarns were from Rhichard Devrieze in Canada, humanely sourced from Australian merino. I can't wait for the next great opportunity! read more

Knowledgeable staff and great selection. Fantastic group of knitters! Love going to the knitting happy hours! Check out the website and join us! read more

This place is a local gem; a wide variety of skeins,with novel colors, all the tools needed to create with and a comfortable atmosphere to craft in! There are lessons on fiber and life and just good camaraderie when knitting and pearling together. read more

This new store is now a happy place for me! I've got a small group of gals who I meet up with every week there to knit and crochet for two or more hours and we love it! By the way, YARN is great for crocheters too and there are lots of crochet hooks and crochet books available there too. Sit down, relax and enjoy yourself here while the owner, Allison, pays attention to your needs and is happy to help and take care of them. There are always people in and out when I'm there and Allison is very friendly shop owner. I just read a review that says there is a yarn swap on Tuesday-didn't know that! Gotta look into how that works. Don't leave without trying the CruBom chocolate-to die for. read more

I have been to yarn stores all over the United States and Europe - this is by far THE BEST! Wonderfully organized, prices and fiber content clearly displayed. There were a variety of old favorites (Malabrigo Rios) and several new yarns I've never seen. Wonderful sample patterns placed by respective yarns, a wall of pattern inspiration and comfortable seating to work on projects or browse patterns. I will be back! read more

I stumbled on to this place and could not believe it. I have wanted to learn to knit and this shop is so darling! It is SO nice, it is fixed up very zen and relaxing. They have classes for all levels, wine by the glass and all sorts of teas and coffee if you want to just come in and knit (which is nice for beginners so if you mess up there is someone always there to help!) They sell everything you need and local hand dyed yarn that is just beautiful! I took the beginning class and they couldn't be more patient and helpful. I highly recommend it for anyone who crochets or knits or would like to learn how. Oh and they have massages on Mondays by Rebecca who is awesome (by appointment only!). LOVE this place!!! read more

Great selection of yarns and wines. The owners are nice and welcoming. The place smells good but the scent is a little over powering but I guess over time you'll get used to it. read more

I am from Texas and the hill country however, I am not from Dripping. I wanted to buy yarn and I had heard that you can crochet at this place and make friends. I have been crocheting for several years. The person that waited on me was not very friendly and I wasn't told about or invited to come back to crochet. The store was open for business but I felt like from her attitude that she was purposely being a snob. I will go back and get my yarn so that I can finish my project but, I dread talking to the lady that waited on me. read more

This shop is the best! The owner and employees are welcoming and helpful. The shop stocks lots of lovely yarn and there is something for everyone. In addition to yarn, there is wine and beer and charcuterie! I love to hang out and knit with friends, laugh and drink a little wine. All are welcome! read more

Finally found Zelana Rimu I've been looking all over for! Great selection and good prices.

This is my favorite yarn shop! Great, friendly knowledgeable staff! Fantastic selection of yarn including several that can't be found elsewhere. A great place to sit and knit or crochet by yourself or join one of the many groups that meet here. They also serve wine and beer and yummy charcuterie plates. They offer some great classes and opportunities for private help and lessons. If you're anywhere nearby including Austin, come check them out! One of the best local yarn stores I've ever visited! read more

What a fun place! Great place to hang out with a great selection of yarn! Enjoyed the atmosphere too.

Beautiful yarns, great help! Just took my first class, Melanie was patient and clear. The others in the class were funny and kind, all around great experience! read more

So happy to have a lys (local yarn shop) in the heart of Dripping Springs. The staff is wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable without any condescension. Dr.Allison really sets an open and friendly tone. Not only is the place full of yarny goodness, there are drinks available along with yummy local chocolates. Coffee, tea, cold drinks (and soon wine and beer) are available making it extra nice for those of us who want a social time out but are not into bars or nightclubs (although DS has a couple great places if that is your thing). There is a yarn swap Tuesday offered. There is a computer set up for us to check our Ravelry patterns or find new ones to justify the yarn we just feel in love with. For our loved ones who get dragged along but don't understand the appeal of fiber arts, there is a social area with a bunch of fun games so everyone can find their 'happy place' at the Sated Sheep. read more
