See You at Fiberworld

Can you believe that the Fiberworld Show 2021 is just days away!

So what exactly is Fiberworld you say? Fiberworld is so much more than just another virtual fiber show; it is an entire platform designed specifically to allow everyone to be able to gather and experience all of the fun and shenanigans that go on at fiber festivals regardless of location. Their mission is accessibility. Anyone can attend no matter where in the world you may be. This is the ONLY event that literally brings vendors, instructors, and fiber lovers together across the globe for a five-day event packed full of fun.

There are classes, demos, lounge events and of course the marketplace packed with over 80 vendors including Megs & Co.

You can see the full line-up as well as purchase tickets and register for classes here.

Along with a few activities that we are planning on attending, we have a full line-up of our own including live shopping help, yarn dying demonstrations, plus the reveal of an exciting collaboration to raise money for our favorite charities.
