Piedmont Fibershed

Piedmont Fibershed The Piedmont Fibershed encompasses the area roughly within a 200 mile radius of Durham, North Carolina. What is a Fibershed? What about our clothes?

Piedmont Fibershed is a community organization dedicated to building a regional fiber system in the Piedmont of North Carolina centered around local fibers, local dyes, and local labor. We seek to support and develop a regional fiber economy that benefits the environment, workers, and the local economy. A fibershed is a natural textile resource base that uses the region as its guiding force in sou

rcing and making available fiber, textile, and dye products. We’re so invested in locally sourcing our food.

How beautiful are these bath sheets?

These were a new experiment from Kelly W at Piedmont Fiber Lab in Burlington.

Absorbent, soft, quick drying, and lovely on the eyes. Which explains why they’ve sold out already.

Kelly is keen to hear your thoughts about luxury bath linens, so feel free to let them know!

Say hello to Rev Dr Christine Nygren one of our Piedmont Fibershed Directory members.

Joyfaring is the weaving practice of Rev. Dr. Christine Nygren. Her craft is rooted in ceremony, connection, and the beauty of what matters most. Every cloth begins with intention and is crafted to support the meaningful moments in your life.

Each of her pieces carries intention and story, supporting both community rituals and local fiber futures through projects like SaxFlax and Fibershed Scarves.

Looks like the NC heat isn’t going anywhere anytime soon...which means there’s more time for linen!

Swipe to see the 8 unique colors that we have of 3/1 Linen Yarn and 7 of the 20 colors we have of 7/1 Linen Yarn.

3/1 Linen: A singles linen that can be woven warp and weft into lovely textile for the home. Or knit for lightweight summer apparel. Any creation with this yarn will become softer with every wear and wash.

7/1 Linen: This fine linen can be used in the warp and weft for a lightweight linen fabric. To mix things up try with a thicker warp yarn and use multiple strands of this yarn in the weft. Running multiple strands in different colors you can create an interesting space-dyed effect. Also knits beautifully for light breathable apparel.

These yarns were purchased from a specialty yarn mill closure, so when you purchase them, you are supporting a re-use journey and keeping mill ends from being thrown away.
