This system functions in a way that emphasizes regional assets and supports and protects our human health, happiness, and our environment. Starting with the soil as our focus (bottom of the graphic), we focus on building relationships with farmers, processors, designers and makers, sellers and consumers. And guess what- every person (if you wear clothing!) falls somewhere in this circular system! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/cca17908-2498-4830-9d6a-b55747f72f73/Untitled+design+%2815%29.png Home - A Note about Our Watershed We operate in both the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River Basin watersheds. This means that much of the micro-plastics and dyes that shed from our textiles during the washing process accumulate in these bodies of water. The top-soil run-off, manure, herbicides, and more from fiber farms that use conventional farming practices run into these watersheds. https://rustbeltfibershed.com/board daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/1561059228366-1EQ4KB4RF9Z3ZGSR7TIR/image-asset.jpeg Board Members https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/1561063771461-XOK1588HLU54LEX4GX83/image-asset.jpeg Board Members https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/1561068619039-BSK831EFNGAHGRMUHQ0S/Summer18-108.jpg Board Members - JESSALYN BOEKE CO-FOUNDER/ EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR EVENTS AND OUTREACH Jess is an educator and fiber artist who has been working with natural dyes since 2008.

I'm a junior at Kent State University majoring in Fashion Design, with a minor in Textiles. I am very passionate about sustainability, and I hope to have a career in sustainable apparel construction. Through Rustbelt Fibershed, I'd like to help raise awareness on sustainability issues, and how we can all make a change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/0feb9584-b32b-464c-9ebc-15530ceb3ca3/IMG_8597+2.jpeg Student Ambassador Program - Cate McNamara I’m a freshman fashion design major at Kent State University from Fairfield, Connecticut. I have been interested in sustainable fashion since my sophomore year of high school when I watched the documentary The True Cost, and the issues it presented stayed with me for years. Outside of fashion I am a cellist in the Kent State Orchestra and in a cello quartet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/d7c9178d-81a1-4f2f-8d86-be3d07189c13/processed-4CE315DF-B718-4AA0-809A-A4D4EFE90228-CB046328-5D73-4C25-A4AF-F6DBD92EC312.jpeg Student Ambassador Program - Ciane Mims Hi! I’m a second year fashion merchandising student with minors in accessories and psychology.

With an emphasis in textile design, I like combining multiple mediums and techniques to create inventive pieces. I love to create, listen to music, and spend time outside. I joined the Rustbelt Fibershed so I could continue educating my peers on the importance of sustainable fashion and soil-to-soil economies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/63ee6a59-5a8a-4703-bf32-e0d60778d914/IMG_5500+-+Emily+Yanchak.jpeg Student Ambassador Program - Emily Yanchak Hi, I'm Emily! I'm a sophomore at Kent State University majoring in fashion merchandising and double minoring in sustainability and marketing. I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and my hobbies include reading and crocheting. I love any outdoor activity, and I'm interested and eager to learn more about the sustainable aspects of the fashion industry through the RBF SAP! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/b146e275-5d7e-4ffb-979a-4b4a94f85b1e/Kat+Novak.jpg Student Ambassador Program - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://rustbeltfibershed.com/oyoofeature daily 0.75 2024-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/b0ed8f36-7e3f-4c03-8fb8-212bb71fcf5e/RustBeltFibershed-18.jpg OYOO Feature - Along the Way Amanda Purnell Shetland Wool knit dress and Tunisian crocheted belt with Suri and Huacaya Alpaca knit scarf all in natural colors. All materials and major tools for this outfit were sourced within Ohio during detours from planned travels. From Burr Oak Farm and Yesterday's Ewe's yarn shop in London came Shetland Wool roving. From Bluebird Hills Farm in Springfield came both Suri and Alpaca fleeces. From my Dad's own hands in North Jackson came my very own one-of-a-kind spinning wheel. Engaging in the Rust Belt Fibershed's One Year One Outfit project is truly a journey and the wide variety of unexpected discoveries that will be found along the way--about the outfit, its creator, and the community surrounding them--are the most meaningful outcomes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/2b07774e-6736-4e18-9c58-da1e787e1741/RustBeltFibershed-60.jpg OYOO Feature - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/079c918e-9268-460b-9dcd-a114dcf6c9ed/RustBeltFibershed-70.jpg OYOO Feature - Linen Bikini Set Emily Kichler Crochet is my favorite form of zero/minimal-waste design, because it allows for so much intricate detail without the waste of cut-and-sew garments. I began creating intimates patterns, because pretty much any other garment can be found in a thrift store these days. The Rustbelt Fibershed's One Year One Outfit project helped me delve even deeper into this concept by introducing the knowledge and experimentation of local fibers and dye materials, which can all be returned again to the earth at the end of their use. While this project is very much a conceptual representation of ideals, I am excited to see how the idea grows and evolves. The flax used to make this bikini set was grown by the Rustbelt Fibershed's Linen Project, hand-processed, and then hand-spun. The cattail reeds were also locally harvested and processed, all within a 40 mile radius of Cleveland, Ohio.

The woven hat, made of daffodil leaves is meant to evoke spring, which is when the leaves were collected, and dried before plaiting. The dress, made of hand-processed, handspun linen and dyed with indigo, exemplifies the summer, and the overdress, made of knitted shetland wool dyed in a variety of yellow, orange, and brown botanical shades is meant to provide warmth for the fall months, while alluding to the colorful fall leaves of maple trees. The essence of winter is captured through the felted handbag, a dense, heavy textile technique, and dyed red and brown with pokeberries and walnuts, which provide food sources for birds and other local animals during the cold winter months.

The sweater, knit from undyed Huacaya alpaca drapes with intriguing complexity, contradicting its simple construction. The softness and lightness of the fleece makes it as cozy as a well-worn sweatshirt. The skirt, crafted from undyed Merino wool, embraces one's curves with sultry allure, yet feels like it was made for binge watching. A clutch woven from dogbane cordage with a deer bone latch marries rugged practicality with striking elegance. Blending natural colors and elements with arresting but uncomplicated design, my work aims to project the accessibility of slow fashion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/f7191dcb-bfa5-465c-b430-07649975fc35/anna+outfit.jpg OYOO Feature - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://rustbeltfibershed.com/joiningadirectory daily 0.75 2024-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/1710874433662-QZLH441NP7XRHUWPWTUL/image-asset.jpeg Joining a Directory - How to Join the Value Chain Directory a network of farmers, mill owners, natural dyers, sewists, weavers, knitters, spinners, designers, menders, and upcyclers living and working within a 250 mile radius of Cleveland, Ohio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/1727963140620-EFFXJBB57CR4C0P7QKEI/unsplash-image-lcS1SSKokeE.jpg Joining a Directory - Make it stand out Note: we use the term “chain” due to its familiarity, though we prefer to think of the Supply Chain/Value Chain actually as a web of many interconnected parts, not organized in a specific linear order around the circle.

They currently hand craft limited amounts of quick knits from hand spun, hand processed yarn from their seven alpaca and five sheep. As an aspiring carbon neutral fiber producer, they hope to merge farming and cloth production by means of knitting machines and looms. Their ultimate goal is to produce clothing as a small scale manufacturer, designer, and fiber supplier. By enacting responsible rotational grazing, composting manure to spread on healing lands, they hope to help our planet even with the small amount their farm allows by improving their overall soil health while keeping their own carbon footprint as small as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/a6f75a39-3bde-4d27-8154-0a7c38f5ec7b/Dark+Circle+Background+Logo.png 2025 Sponsorships - Coyote Run Fiberworks Coyote Run Fiberworks is an indie fiber processing mill in Holly, Michigan focused on creating small batch yarn for makers from American-grown wool and other natural fibers.

ALPACA: Caliegh Bussard / The Buzzard Farm / Beaver, PA Caliegh Bussard is the CSO (chief shepherd officer) at The Buzzard Farm which operates as a small fiber farm in western Pennsylvania with a focus on alpaca fiber. To demonstrate the groundwork of producing cloth, she hand spins fiber from her farm to make biodegradable, dye free hats in limited quantity each fall to sell in her online store. Caliegh will share about alpaca fiber. “Alpacas are pivotal in the movement to distribute biodegradable cloth. Their hardiness, ease on the soil, and husbandry requirements make them the most environmentally conscious fiber animal.” Instagram: @fiberinthefoothills Website: Www.thebuzzardfarm.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/1f59abac-2706-4625-802c-7dada50a6898/60250960_3268046736554193_7516307976202747904_n+-+Denise+Williams+%281%29.jpg 2025 Speakers (16th and 25th) - WOOL: Denise Williams / Something Beautiful Handcrafts / Cleveland, OH Teacher by day, artist by night. Denise Williams' passions stems from the need to create handmade textiles from start to finish. From sheep to shawl, from the wash bin to the wheel, from locks to luxury goods, every stitch is made with love. Local and sustainable, when possible. “Wool is so Cool: Do you know there are more than 200 distinct sheep breeds, with specific characteristics, which lend them to different usages?. I would like to share some of those characteristics with you, to help you decide which wools are best suited for specific projects.” Youtube: Something Beautiful Handcrafts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/59f4f0a3-4032-442f-bae2-f1e259c994ec/1SaraGuren_Patches+-+Sara+Guren+%281%29.jpg 2025 Speakers (16th and 25th) - ANGORA: Sara Guren / One Bunny’s Wool As the creative behind One Bunny's Wool, Sara Guren began her journey with fiber arts in 2020 when her family brought home an English Angora rabbit. Taking care of the rabbit, Patches, requires frequent brushing of her long fiber which can be spun into yarn. Learning to hand-spin rabbit fiber then led Sara to explore knitting with locally sourced alpaca fiber, growing flax and foraging for natural dyes.

About Sarah and Jess: Cleveland born and raised, doing life together since womb-times, we found ourselves as public school teachers in Baltimore in the mid 2000s, working on organic farms in the summer, and looking for a creative side project. We started Drift Lab Dye Studio, a natural dye project, in 2010. In the process of Drift Lab unfolding, we became familiar with fellow natural dyer and founder of Fibershed, Rebecca Burgess. We remember the first Fibershed video we saw on this-new-platform-called-instagram where the panelists were talking not just about fiber, but about farming and ecology and health and fair trade and art and fashion and climate and economy and education and we instantly thought: THAT’S IT! THAT’S THE THING. So when we moved back home to settle in Cleveland in 2014 (Jess) and 2016 (Sarah), we felt compelled to promote the Fibershed movement in our home bioregion. In 2018 the Rust Belt Fibershed was born, and in 2022 we finally became a 501(c)3. This project and movement have flourished in the most unpredictable and abundant ways, and we are truly grateful to be a part of it. As co-founders of the Rust Belt Fibershed, we are truly just looking for ways to facilitate creative connections among people and planet. We have decades of experience in teaching, leading, learning about and through food and textiles, and challenging the existing extractive systems with abundant participation and philosophies of “more life”! We are still naturally dyeing textiles through our project Drift Lab Earth, where we host workshops educating on place-based systems through local color and are excited about our other joint current art projects, like We Are Verbs and Color Portal.

They currently hand craft limited amounts of quick knits from hand spun, hand processed yarn from their seven alpaca and five sheep.

Their ultimate goal is to produce clothing as a small scale manufacturer, designer, and fiber supplier. By enacting responsible rotational grazing, composting manure to spread on healing lands, they hope to help our planet even with the small amount their farm allows by improving their overall soil health while keeping their own carbon footprint as small as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a63fe769f8dce7378f86071/a6f75a39-3bde-4d27-8154-0a7c38f5ec7b/Dark+Circle+Background+Logo.png 2026 Sponsorships - Coyote Run Fiberworks Coyote Run Fiberworks is an indie fiber processing mill in Holly, Michigan focused on creating small batch yarn for makers from American-grown wool and other natural fibers.

About Sarah and Jess: Cleveland born and raised, doing life together since womb-times, we found ourselves as public school teachers in Baltimore in the mid 2000s, working on organic farms in the summer, and looking for a creative side project. We started Drift Lab Dye Studio, a natural dye project, in 2010. In the process of Drift Lab unfolding, we became familiar with fellow natural dyer and founder of Fibershed, Rebecca Burgess. We remember the first Fibershed video we saw on this-new-platform-called-instagram where the panelists were talking not just about fiber, but about farming and ecology and health and fair trade and art and fashion and climate and economy and education and we instantly thought: THAT’S IT! THAT’S THE THING. So when we moved back home to settle in Cleveland in 2014 (Jess) and 2016 (Sarah), we felt compelled to promote the Fibershed movement in our home bioregion. In 2018 the Rust Belt Fibershed was born, and in 2022 we finally became a 501(c)3. This project and movement have flourished in the most unpredictable and abundant ways, and we are truly grateful to be a part of it. As co-founders of the Rust Belt Fibershed, we are truly just looking for ways to facilitate creative connections among people and planet.
