The  Natural Fiber Fair is  located in the quaint college town of Arcata,  September is a beautiful time of year to explore the North Coast.

Arcata is a lively arts community  bustling with returning college  students and the festive farmers market on the town plaza. Fall is the  perfect time for fiber artists to think about their winter projects.   The Natural Fiber Fair inspires us with new skills and beautiful fibers.

Education  is an important aspect of the Natural Fiber Fair.  Every hour there are  several demos and workshops to choose from.  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.  We have classroom space for longer, more in-depth  workshops; pre-registration is encouraged for the in-depth workshops.   Along with the fabulous exhibits there is something for everyone.

Natural  Fibers are our focus.  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.

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.
