Brown Sheep Company, located just outside Scottsbluff near Mitchell, is one of the more unique operations in western Nebraska. It’s not a brewery or restaurant—it’s a working wool yarn mill that’s been producing American-made yarn since 1980.
They take raw wool and natural fibers and handle the entire process in-house—spinning, dyeing, and packaging yarn that gets shipped across the U.S. and internationally.
A few things that stand out about them:
- One of the largest natural fiber spinning mills in the U.S.
- Family-run, multi-generation operation rooted in Nebraska farming
- Strong focus on American wool and sustainability
- Small outlet store on-site where they sell discounted yarn (“seconds”)
- Popular with knitters, weavers, and fiber artists nationwide
It’s listed as both a shopping stop and local attraction in Scotts Bluff County, not just a retail business.
