Chris Roosien of Briar Rose Fibers has been hand painting yarns and fibers since 2004. Merino wool, silk, Tencel and several wool blends are just a few of Briar Rose’s signature fibers dyed in a breathtaking, saturated hues. She travels the country attending fiber festivals, trade shows and open houses year-round–we’re so lucky to be welcoming her here!
Grocer’s Daughter Chocolate was also started in 2004 and is owned and operated by Mimi Wheeler. She uses fruits, edible flowers and herbs from her summer garden and from the soils and the natural beauty of northern Michigan–just 15 miles away, perched atop a dune in the quaint village of Empire.

What’s in a name? To us, Wool & Honey symbolizes the Good Life. The Land of Milk and Honey is a depiction of the most divine place on earth, the land of abundance, your happy place, Paradise Found. We believe that heaven on earth is a yarn shop filled with beautiful things that add a bit of shine to daily life. Bees are amazing creatures. Every day, these little workers gather pollen–powdery bits of fluff–and with a little time and effort, transform it into a gorgeous, golden nectar. How similar we knitters are to the bee! Taking nothing more than two sticks and a string, we create warmth and comfort, fabric to clothe and decorate our bodies. The hive is the epicentre of it all–it’s home. The bee may travel to distant fields and orchards, but there’s something hardwired inside her brain that always brings her back. Whether Leelanau County is your home or the home of your heart, there is a fiber community waiting here for you. * * * * * |
| But why delights? Leelanau means ‘land of delight’ in Ojibwa–it’s our nod to the people who discovered this particular heaven on earth. |
