fibershed

Like a foodshed, a fibershed is a small geographical landscape, or bioregion, where artisans produce goods using natural dyes, materials and farms located within 150 miles of their front door. Whereas some fibersheds focus on creating sustainable clothing, Livingston said the Los Angeles event is about educating the community through "re-skilling" classes like spinning, lap loom weaving, knitting, sewing and dyeing.

Now, it’s on the lips of the kind of environmentally conscious fashionistas who filled Toby’s Feed Barn in Point Reyes Station this month for the first ever fibershed fashion show.
