Fiber-Artisans

The fiber artisans listed here use local and regionally sourced fibers in their work. Local fiber farms are invited to contact them about collaborating to design and create custom fiber products and handcrafted textiles. Linking farms <-to-> makers is a key piece to rebuilding supply chains.

Are you a fiber/textile artist living and working in the Finger Lakes/Central New York State area that works with locally sourced animal fibers? Join LocalFiber and get listed in the LocalFiber Artisan directory!
