We're building regional fiber system across Canada centered around local fibers, local dyes, and local labor
Canadian Fibreshed Network
Fibreshed is a non-profit organization that develops regional fiber systems that build ecosystem and community health. Our work expands opportunities to implement climate benefitting agriculture, rebuild regional manufacturing, and connect end-users to the source of our fiber through education. We transform the economic systems behind the production of material culture to mitigate climate change, improve health, and contribute to racial and economic equity.
The Cross Canada Fibreshed Network's vision is to strengthen the fibreshed movement across Canada and build capacity among affiliate organizations in all regions of Canada
