Welcome to Our New Web Site!

We're still in the process of building the new site, so please be patient with us. The new site should make it easier for you to navigate, sign up for workshops, and manage your Vendor and Instructor information. Thanks again for your patience while we work out all the kinks! We promise it'll be worth it.

Questions or issues? Please contact the Webmaster.

The Natural Fiber Fair inspires us with new skills and beautiful fibers.

Vendors from northern California, Oregon, and elsewhere  bring fiber, tools, books, finished products, and much more.  The Fleece  Market features locally produced fibers and roving.

Education  is an important aspect of the Natural Fiber Fair.  Every hour there are  several demos and workshops to choose from. 

Demonstrations: Learn about basket  weaving, natural dyeing, spinning, knitting, felting and more! Our  vendors offer free demonstrations as well as hands-on workshops with a  small materials fee. 

Workshops: We have classroom space for longer, more in-depth  workshops; pre-registration is encouraged for the in-depth workshops.   

Enjoy Exhibits where you can learn about natural fibers, where they come from, and how they can be used.

Featured Artist: Every year we invite an extraordinary local artist to exhibit their work.

Visit with friends new and old in our Fiber Circle, where folks come with their projects to socialize with fellow fiber enthusiasts.

Many of us  have come year after year and look forward to our special weekend set  aside for good company, beautiful fibers, and learning new things. 

Welcome! The Natural Fiber Fair is welcoming to everyone. We look forward to seeing you!
