Threads and Fiber Festival

Threads and Fiber Festival is a two-day event at Franklin Jr High in Des Moines, Iowa, with 27 vendors gathered in a single location. The vendor mix covers a good range: hand-dyed yarn companies, raw fiber producers, spinning equipment suppliers, and fiber arts instructors all sharing the same space. Classes run alongside the vendor sales, and the two-day format gives you a weekend to browse and learn. For central Iowa fiber artists, it's a compact gathering where the emphasis is on the goods and the people selling them.
