Many local animal fibers are featured, including: wool, qiviut, alpaca, mohair and angora, as well as other natural fibers like silk, cotton, bamboo, wood, and cane, and synthetic fibers. Goods for purchase include everything from raw animal fiber, hand-dyed yarn, spinning fiber, embroidered artwork, jewelry, home goods, and hand-woven/knit/crocheted/sewn clothing and accessories, to looms, spinning wheels, spindles, and other tools used to create fiber art.

 

The Festival offers opportunities for the public to explore the local fiber scene and try out a new skill or hobby, while giving fiber producers and artisans opportunities to network and strengthen statewide connections!​
