"Fibershed’s 2016 Wool Symposium panels and presentations will focus on regional breeding strategies, biological and mechanical technology, Climate Beneficial Wool, ‘prosumption,’ true cost of raising sheep and making a garment by hand, the history of sheep production in our region, and a special visit by a distant Fibershed Affiliate community organizer who will share how their community is cross pollinating urban and rural sectors."

Our Founder and Creative Director, Peggy Sue Deaven-Smiltnieks will be speaking on her work with the Upper Canada Fibreshed, an affiliate of Fibershed.com.
