The West Kootenay Fibreshed is excited to be part of this year’s Mother’s Day Garden Starter Market in Nelson! Celebrate the season of growth with us while supporting a vibrant, local fibre community.

Dye Plant Starts for Sale
We’ll have a beautiful selection of dye plant starts available for purchase—perfect for gardeners and fibre artists alike! These plants not only brighten up your garden but can be used to create gorgeous natural dyes. Proceeds from the sale will support the West Kootenay Fibreshed’s programs and initiatives.

Live Wool Processing Demonstration
Curious about how raw fleece becomes yarn? Stop by our booth to experience hands-on wool processing! Try your hand at carding fibre or watch as one of our members spins wool right on-site. It’s a great way to connect with local fibre traditions and learn about our soil-to-soil approach to textiles.

Whether you're a gardener, a maker, or just fibre-curious, we’d love to meet you! Come say hi, learn more about the West Kootenay Fibreshed, and discover how you can get involved.
