Mark Your Calendar
Plans are underway for Carolina FiberFest with more of what you loved in 2011 plus new ways to fuel your fiber passions. Mark you calendar for May 18—20 at the Jim Graham Building, NC State Fairgrounds in Raleigh.
Explore the World of Fiber Arts
Make yourself at home in the Fiber Arts Village. Go for the gold in the Fiber Olympics: fastest needles and fastest spinning wheels will own the honors. Take a class or two or three. Show off your handwork in the Continuous Strand Weaving contest, the Skein and Garment competition and the Sheep to Shawl contest. Rub elbows with fellow fiber fanatics. Shop for those special somethings—yarn, roving, tools, patterns, accessories—that make you say gotta have that.
Sponsor opportunities are available.
Visit here often for updates and tell everybody!
