Become a Supporter
Rust Belt Fibershed aims to build a community which supports local fiber producers, processors, natural dyers, spinners, and weavers, knitters, crocheters, felters, clothing designers, home goods textile designers, and fabric/yarn shop keepers (and everything in between) in connecting to YOU, the consumer!
Join a community of people committed to building a regional fiber system centered around local fibers, local dyes, and local labor in
THE RUST BELT FIBERSHED!
Supporter membership is a great way to get involved, and to learn more about what a fibershed is and why it is important. The only guideline for community members is that they reside within the Rust Belt Fibershed region (250 mile radius of Cleveland, Ohio). This membership is for those in our fibershed region who are not producers, yet want to support an be apart of creating a fiber economy in the Great Lakes Regions of Eastern Michigan, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, and Western New York. Community membership creates opportunity for engagement with producers and special offers and learning opportunities within our fibershed.
Your participation directly supports our work to build a sustainable, regional fiber and textile economy in our fibershed.
