We strive to put together an excellent and diverse Marketplace just for you! We look for a selection of the best products: from fiber shorn right off the sheep to handmade heirloom clothing and decorative art - and EVERYTHING in between. We are fiber artists ourselves, and we know that to see a home grown, unique product in person - to be able to touch and savor - is a rare treat!

Vendors by Name: (there are more coming, so check back!)
