What Wild Adventures Await You Inside The Summer Issue Of Wild Fibers
Although no two issues of Wild Fibers are ever alike, we take special pride in our ongoing series celebrating the United Nations International Year of Natural Fibres. Along with our usual array of unusual stories including a feature on the shepherds in Dracula’s “backyard,†to farming for fiber in the foothills of the Shenandoah Valley; we are featuring a special trip to Tanzania to learn how sisal not only plays a major role in the fiber world, but is making things “greener†and brighter throughout the country. We also conclude Torie Olson’s colorful weaving saga in the steamy Haouz Plains of Morocco and enjoy a historical “tail†about Herdwick sheep.
