BUSINESS MONDAY: Spotlight on Prado de Lana Sheep Farm Yarn & Wool Shop

July 13, 2026 - 01:26

A family-run sheep farm and yarn shop is beginning a fresh chapter in Stockbridge, settling into the town's historic train depot. Prado de Lana, known for its locally sourced wool and hand-dyed yarns, has relocated from a smaller space to the depot, a move that gives the business significantly more room for both retail and community events.

The new location allows the shop to expand its offerings beyond just selling yarn. Owners say the larger floor plan will host regular knitting and spinning classes, as well as workshops on fiber arts. The depot's high ceilings and open layout provide a fitting backdrop for the rustic, farm-to-needle aesthetic the business promotes.

Prado de Lana operates in conjunction with a working sheep farm, meaning the wool sold in the shop often comes directly from the family's own flock. This direct connection from pasture to product is a point of pride for the owners, who emphasize transparency in how the fiber is raised and processed.

The move to the depot also strengthens the shop's role as a local gathering spot. Customers are encouraged to sit and knit in the store, and the expanded space can accommodate larger groups for community projects. The owners see the depot not just as a store, but as a hub for preserving traditional crafts in a modern setting. With the new space, they hope to attract both seasoned fiber artists and curious beginners looking to learn a hands-on skill.
