Our mission

Mission statement

We create welcoming community events that celebrate the fiber arts and handmade craft, help independent artisans and small businesses thrive, and make hands-on learning open to everyone.

Every event we produce brings makers and the public together: shoppers meet the farmers and dyers behind their yarn, beginners learn from experienced teachers, and local shops gain new customers. Any surplus goes back into our events and the craft communities they serve.
