About Shepherd Industries

I’m Teresa Perleberg a needle felting sculpture artist, raising my own flock of sheep and teaching others how to felt as well as sharing my farm experiences. ~Sheep, wool, farm-life, spinning, dyeing, knitting is what I love. I’ve been raising sheep and needle felting since 2006, opening Bear Creek Felting in 2008. We raise cattle and registered Romney sheep. After I was introduced to needle felting I was hooked and haven’t stopped since, not realizing I had any artistic talents until I found wool. Honored to be featured in these magazines: North Dakota Living, Better Homes and Gardens, Mary Jane’s Farm, Sheep, Australia’s Homespun magazine and the UK’s Cross Stitchers magazine. Books: Artistry in Fiber: Sculpture by Anne Lee and E. Ashley Rooney, Raising Animals for Fiber by Chris McLaughlin. I have helped over 20,000 learn to felt with my DIY kits, classes and the Needle Felting Academy. In 2018 I formed a partnership with Chris Armbrust of Dakota Fiber Mill, together as Shepherd Industries, LLC we renovated a school in Nome, North Dakota to house our growing businesses and provide a place for fiber enthusiasts to come relax, learn and experience all things fiber.Read their story
