Local fiber artists, farmers, and educators drew a crowd at the Fairbanks Fiber Festival.
Dozens of local fiber artists, farmers, and educators drew a crowd at the Civic Center at Pioneer Park on Saturday and Sunday. Vendors presented a wide variety of home-crafted yarns and materials, many of them hand-dyed in a kaleidoscope of colors. Some organic home dyes included yellow from onion peels, or red from beet powder.Traditional spinning and weaving techniques were also on display.
“I go ahead and pre-draft it to make it even easier for me to spin it, and pre-drafting is just pulling the fibers and lining them up all together,” Rolig said. “Then I attach it to my spindle, I get it going, and it makes it easy for the fibers to grab each other.”
