Attention fiber growers, hand spinners, natural dyers, weavers, knitters, sewists, locavores, and anyone else interested in bolstering fiber arts in our region:

We have joined that national Fibershed movement by creating the Adirondack Fibershed.

Fibershed develops regional and regenerative fiber systems on behalf of independent working producers, by expanding opportunities to implement carbon farming, forming catalytic foundations to rebuild regional manufacturing, and through connecting end-users to farms and ranches through public education. 

Basically, the concept of having a regional fibershed is to become more mindful about the materials and labor used to create the fiber-based goods we wear and use everyday, and to work towards a more sustainable fiber system. Many have come to realize the importance of a healthy local food system, and now it is time to raise awareness about the fibers that surround us.

We hope to inspire new friendships, collaborations and the creation of locally grown textiles and garments, as we renew these traditional skills and knowledge and connect people in a shared learning and creative experience. Please join our mailing list if you are interested in sharing this journey with us.
