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!
Check the festival schedule in the catalog, and below, for free special fiber demonstrations! This year's demos include Tunisian Crochet, Knitting Help, Sock Machine Knitting, Rug Hooking, Inkle Weaving, Kumihimo, Overshot Weaving, Spinning, Carding Art Batts, Color Fiber Blending with a Hackle, Spinning Cotton on a Charkha, and more.
