Alford Branch Library
Collaboration Meeting Room 5Bring your current project and enjoy the classic needle arts in the company of others who share your interest in crochet, knitting, cross stitch, felting, tatting, and more. All skill levels welcome.
Fiber arts are fine art forms that use natural or synthetic materials—such as fabric, yarn, paper, or thread—to create aesthetic pieces, using artistic expression as much as utility. Popular techniques include knitting, quilting, embroidery, crochet, macramé, and felted sculpture.
Key Techniques:
Embroidery: Decorating fabric using needles and thread, including hand and machine methods.
Knitting & Crochet: Interlocking loops of yarn to create garments or sculptures.
Felting: Compressing and matting fibers together.
Macramé: Creating textiles through intricate knotting
