Fibershed founder and author @rebeccarburgess will be signing her new book, Fibershed, from 9-11am. The market runs from 8am-2pm. Don't miss out! We have lots of local goods that make the perfect gifts, from wool sponges to lip balm, sheepskins to scarves, pet mats, yarn, cowls, and more. #Repost photo from @stargrazers #fibershed #climatebeneficialfashion #sanfrancisco #sf #happyholidays #sanfranciscochristmas #californiachristmas #cooperative #farmgoodies #localchristmas @fibershed_ @fibershedmarketplace @cuesa @chelseagreenbooks @norcalfibershedcoop
Instagram post 2192300936194726345_7083055868 We are so grateful for our member volunteers, who have put in SO many hours making our Ferry Building market days happen, and we want to recognize them. (Last market at the Ferry Building is Dec. 21!) @stargrazers and @jgswitzer have received, counted, added to Square, stored, stewarded, and hauled hundreds and hundreds of items (with just one day to do so at the beginning, due to fire evacuation!), starting at 4 AM on market days. They also give serious thought and tasteful talent to displaying @fibershedmarketplace goods so they look their best, and field all sorts of member questions and pick-up and delivery of additional items. So much work! @integrity_alpacas and Reba Siero have enthusiastically and happily joined us at sun up to raise and hold on to tents in rain storms, showed folks how to spin, and helped us break down and load up. Four people handling massive tents is SO much better than two! Carol and Gregg of @2nfromcarol did so much to set our booth up for success, including structurally: knowing to buy cement blocks, ropes to throw over the roof to keep our tent from blowing away to Alcatraz, and even making wood display racks on which to drape rugs and scarves. This is what a co-operative looks like! Thank you, a million times, thank you! #cooperative #fibershed #farmersmarket #artisan #helpinghands #alittlehelpfrommyfriends #gratitude #thankful #manyhandsmakelightwork
Instagram post 2188231854575105529_7083055868 We'll be celebrating Small (and Co-op) Business Saturday tomorrow, Nov. 30 at the San Francisco Ferry Building from 8 AM-2 PM, rain or shine, in all our wool layers.

Instagram post 2183602045228225023_7083055868 Good morning, glories. We're here, we've got regeneratively raised, carbon sinking wares, and we are ready for our Primavera breakfast! #fibershed #climatebeneficialwool #localclothing #scarves #hats #sheepskin #yarn #californiagrown
Instagram post 2177278808030637495_7083055868 Many of our goods will be available at the Dance Palace in Pt. Reyes Station this Saturday, 11/16. Come out and meet our farmers and artisans (details below). We'll be back at the SF Ferry Building on Nov. 23 and 30, and Dec. 21, 8 AM - 2 PM. It's chilly. Get your wool on! #Repost @fibershed_ with @get_repost ・・・ Tending our clothing and crafting with local fiber are partnerships that elevate our relationship with bioregional material culture. Join us for free, skill-building demonstrations and activity circles from 12:30 - 2:30 pm at the Fibershed Wool & Fine Fiber Symposium this coming Saturday, November 16th at the Dance Palace in Point Reyes Station. Learn how to mend your clothes with hand stitching guidance from Ashley Eva Brock, and observe a range of dye colors from local plants with Grace Sullivan. Try your hand at textural tapestry weaving with Keyaira Terry, observe the skilled choreography of sheep and angora rabbit shearing, and join a knitting circle with Gayle Ravenscroft and a smattering of locally sourced yarns to sample. These are just a few of the soil-to-skin processes showcased during the mid-day break of the Symposium in beautiful Point Reyes Station, alongside an abundant local Marketplace of Fibershed producer members. No ticket needed, this exploration of local fiber, local dye, and local labor is free and open to the public.

Instagram post 2145891522642821646_7083055868 New kits available in the Marketplace, and in our booth @lambtownfestival this weekend! Robin Lynde of @meridian_jacobs will have these gorgeous (some might say pumpkin-spice hued) kits available for the Fibershed knitalong. The pattern is the Coast Side Cardigan by Alisha Reyes, available on @hi.ravelry. It is a stylish, oversized sweater that layers well through the seasons. It is a beginner-friendly pattern to grow your local wardrobe, and was designed by Alisha Reyes to use a wide variety of local yarns. The cardigan is worked as two rectangular panels in ribbing stitch pattern and then seamed together to make a sweater that fits two different ways. The optional armbands are picked up and worked after seaming. In addition, it can be knit with one color or the vertical and horizontal ribbed halves can be knit with different colors. The sample cardigan used for the pattern was knit with Solano County wool yarn, modeled by Megan Bre Camp of @summersolacetallow and shown in this kit from Meridian Jacobs: 8 skeins of yarn, approximately 1590 yards of 2-ply sport-weight. Share your progress and your finished piece on social media using #FibershedKAL2019 and by tagging @Fibershed_ and @fibercirclestudio on Instagram! Happy peak fall, everyone! #peakfall #autumnishere #getknitting #sweaterseason #sweatertime #knittersofinstagram #lambtown #localwool #californiagrown
