Duluth Fiber Guild members are preparing for their Annual Fiber Art Fair & Sale. The event is open to the public and will be held Saturday November 15 from 10 am – 3 pm at the First United Methodist Church (the Coppertop) at 230 E. Skyline Parkway Duluth.
The Annual Fiber Art Fair & Sale offers high-quality finely crafted textile art items including:
handwovens (scarves table runners fine tea towels wall hangings placemats); handknits (socks hats mittens scarves sweaters); felted items (ornaments framed originals birdhouses bowls scarves); baskets; fleece and roving from local farms; hand spun yarn; up-cycled items made from discarded fabrics and more. Items are made from natural fibers: wool cotton bamboo silk tencel rayon and linen. Some of the fibers are produced on local sheep and alpaca farms and the spinning group is experimenting with growing flax and processing it into linen. All items are locally made.
In addition to the sale items there will be demonstrations of floor loom weaving spinning with spinning wheels and drop spindles knitting and unique small loom weaving. Adults and children are welcome to participate in these fun learning experiences! Children may also try weaving on small looms.
