THE FIBER GATHERING and HANDS-ON DEMONSTRATIONS

From Fiber to Fabric

Visit us at the Fiber Gathering in the Display & Demo Tent!

Card wool, spin on a drop spindle, weave on a loom, knit or crochet, try rug hooking, and more! Hands-on demos for children and adults.

Bring your wheel, spindle, loom, knitting or crochet project, and drop-in throughout the Festival. Take a break from workshops and shopping to relax and help us demo our crafts to others. Wind your new yarn at the yarn winding station and cast on a project!
