Mid-Ohio Fiber Fair

Mid-Ohio Fiber Fair is a single-day outdoor market at Canal Market District in Newark, Ohio, spread across four blocks of the downtown. The fiber variety is the draw here: wool, alpaca, angora, cashmere, and mohair show up in yarn, roving, and unprocessed forms, with vendors working directly with the raw materials they sell. The downtown market district setting gives the browsing an open-air, farmers-market feel, and the concentration of animal fiber producers in one place makes it a good sourcing day for spinners and fiber artists who want to touch what they're buying before they commit.
