A Calgary store is becoming internationally known for its hand-dyed yarn. CTVKevinFleming

The company specializes in hand-dyed yarn from heritage breeds of sheep, shipping their product to customers on seven continents.

"It depends on the breed of sheep and what kind of things that you're doing with them, but Alberta has a really good climate to produce very fine fleeces and long and lustrous fleeces and, of course, we have good pasturage for them." Wendy Makohoniuk is Ancient Arts Yarns' head of customer service and sales, and says the company recieves emails from customers all over the planet.

Stephanie Loewen is the company's senior dyer and says it's a real team effort to come up with new dye combinations. "I like the process of it all as well so seeing it come together is really quite satisfying," she said.
