Jill and Brandon Blain have been operating their family farm,
Frosty Acres for four years in Williamson. There the family has been busy raising dozen of fiber animals, including lamas, alpaca, angora goats, Shetland sheep and angora rabbits to make handspun and dyed yarns since that time. Now, Jill Blain has opened
Beyond the Fleece in Williamston’s Keller Plaza.
The 430-square foot location sells the Frost Acres yarn as well as knitting supplies and holding classes.
“We’d like to have a bigger space eventually,” says Blain. “We’re just getting established, and we keep bringing more animals into the family. Right now we’re good with what we have here.”
Beyond the Fleece joins a number of crafty and artistic new shops in the upper level of Keller’s Plaza. The store celebrated its grand opening on April 12.
“It’s a very nice space up there,” Blain says of Keller’s Plaza. “It’s all geared toward artists. They re really bringing more art into Williamston.”
