Fiber Arts Social is a monthly gathering for anyone that loves knitting, crocheting, embroidery or working with any other type of fiber arts. We encourage everyone to come in with their current project for an hour and half of creative work and company. Anyone can drop in, share their progress, problem solve any hiccups, get new project ideas, and enjoy a fun evening.

We encourage all levels and all group members to share tips and help troubleshoot. While quantity is limited, we do have donated supplies to share with the public and we also welcome any donations of materials in good reusable condition that can be shared with fellow program members.
