2023 Fiber Arts Festivals
Click HERE for the 2024 Fiber Arts Festival List.
Hi Fiber Friends!
I LOVE fiber arts festivals. The creative vendors, the informative and interesting classes, and the sensory indulgence of rooms filled with beautifully dyed yarn, roving, wool, tools and notions, and individuals who share my love of all things fiber arts. All of it!
It would be great if life were a never-ending fiber fest, wouldn't it? You know how people used to follow around the Grateful Dead? Well, I wish I could do that with Fiber Arts Festivals (I guess that makes me a Fiber Head? ha ha).
So, because I thoroughly enjoy these festivals and I know most of you do, too, I put together a list of Fiber Arts Festivals in the U.S. I will update this post as I find them. If you know of any that aren't on here, please send an email to allyson@thatchedroofcottage.com. I want to keep this list updated and current. Thank you!
P.S. You can click on the name to go to that particular festival's website. Enjoy!
