Experts will give demonstrations every hour on Tunisian crochet, needle-felted fruit, Kumihimo braiding, Nuno felting and loom knitting.
The items on display and sale range from a Tsartlip First Nations knitter making traditional Cowichan sweaters, tuques and vests using home-spun wool to a society that imports wool items from alpacas made by Quechua weavers in Peru.
Activities include opportunities to spin wool, knit, crochet and wet felt. A marketplace features local artisans, food and fibre arts supplies.
A children’s activity centre will keep youngsters occupied.
Admission is free. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at St. Ann’s Academy, 835 Humbolt St.
