Events Description
Come out to the Friendly Town of Almonte for the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum’s 28th Annual Fibrefest.
Local guilds will demonstrate spinning, knitting, weaving, rug-hooking, lacemaking, smocking, and quilting, while our vendors will be selling finished fibre goods and textile supplies from across the province, including quilt shops and alpaca farms.
Vibrant Mexican textiles will be on display and available for purchase through silent auction at the Almonte Old Town Hall, including shirts, rugs, bags, and more!
Fibrefest’s featured artist is acclaimed producer, puppeteer, and Order of Canada recipient Noreen Young, who has been gracing television screens with her creations since the 1960s, including classics such as Hi Diddle Day and Under the Umbrella Tree. Fibrefest is excited to bring her talent and imagination to our festival of fibre arts!
