Knitters, spinners and other fans of the textile arts will gather from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on that Saturday for a fibery good time.

Families will also find something to enjoy – an agility llama, sheep and more. Local artists will be doing a “fleece to shawl” during the day and others will demonstrate carding fiber, spinning and weaving.

More than 30 businesses will sell yarn, fiber, finished textiles, fiber equipment, handmade soap and other delights.

Vendors include independent dyers (yarnies) who will bring all the colors of the spectrum, alpaca and llama farmers, knitting shops, silk dyers and more. A complete list of vendors and their websites can be found at www.fiberintheboro.com. The festival admission is free.

Fiber in the ‘Boro will also offer 10 classes during the day (for a fee) in textile skills such as weaving, spinning, knitting, crocheting and felting. 

The classes are from two to three hours long. Registration is available now on the festival website.

The Lane Agricultural Center is located at 315 John Rice Blvd. in Murfreesboro, off exit 96 on I-24.

The festival replaces the fiber corner traditionally found at Cannonsburgh’s Harvest Days, continuing the fiber tradition in a new location on a new date.
