Shepherd Industries

Welcome to the world of Shepherd Industries, where Dakota Fiber Mill and Bear Creek Felting come together to bring you quality wool products and innovative crafting solutions. Founded by Chris Armbrust and Teresa Perleberg, Dakota Fiber Mill specializes in spinning yarn and roving from a variety of animals, while Bear Creek Felting crafts exquisite 3D needle felted sculptures and DIY kits. Their collaboration has birthed Shepherd Industries, LLC, transforming the abandoned Nome Schoolhouse into a hub for all things wool. Our store features a range of products, alongside fiber animals, maker classrooms, and a boutique hotel with an in-house chef. Join us for events in our Event Center and explore the inclusive ethos of Nome Eweniversity Non-Profit, fostering creativity and connection in a rural setting.
