Events
The Wildflower Fiber Retreat Committee decided 17 years ago to gather all our spinning friends and spend a weekend knitting, spinning, dyeing and having a good time!
The idea took off, and has become a springtime tradition. As the retreat grew, so did our friendships, knowledge, creativity and desire to ensure that traditional methods were passed on to the next generation.
In addition, we sponsor a Wildflower Knitting Camp held in August.
This web site will include detailed information on upcoming Wildflower Fiber events, along with an opportunity to register and make payments online.
