What is a Fibershed?

A Fibershed is a geographical region where natural fiber is produced, processed, made into textiles and ultimately composted. Local, natural fiber producers, processors and artisans are the building blocks of a regional Fibershed.

Comprising an international network of like-minded organizations, the original Fibershed is in northern California. Their work expands opportunities to implement climate-benefitting agriculture, rebuild regional manufacturing and connect end-users to their fiber sources.
