Blue Ridge Mountains Fibershed

Our Blue Ridge Mountains Fibershed, roughly within a 100-mile radius of Asheville, North Carolina, encompasses the rural, mountainous region of Western North Carolina, parts of Eastern Tennessee, and Upstate South Carolina. Our region of Appalachia has a deeply rooted history in handcraft and textiles, but also in economic struggle and resilience.

Established in 2012 and sustained by a passion for fiber, we are a volunteer-led non-profit network of fiber artists, farmers, small-scale fiber processors, educators and fiber enthusiasts, dedicated to growing and supporting the local fiber economy in Western North Carolina and increasing awareness of and access to regional production and artisan practices. We offer workshops and interest groups, curate private events, host studios for resident artists, hold community events, and foster opportunities to sell creative work in our Retail shop and at our seasonal Artisan Markets
