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.

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!
