The US Fiber Industry is growing by leaps and bounds with the resurgence of the fiber arts; hand spinning yarn, knitting, weaving, and felting. The Fiber Industry in the United States supports related industries
such as mini mill fiber processors, hand knitters, artisans, and various types of hand crafters. It is a growing US based industry that speaks to our society’s need to get back to the basics. So come, “get back to the basics and weave a stronger family”, and join us for the 16th Annual Washington County Fiber Tour and learn what Fiber is all about. If you would like to spend the weekend touring all the farms, have lunch, and stay overnight at a B&B contact the Towns & Villages of the Battenkill Valley for a special package rate at www.visitbattenkillvalley.com
