Our name comes from the fact that fiber arts have been around since the Paleolithic era, when our earliest foremothers knotted dried vines together into matting and macrame. When we spin wool (like thousand of years of Northern forebears) or flax (like Egyptian ancients) or anything else, when we weave (like Arachne and the Fates) or knit or embroider or just sew together clothing to cover us, we are holding the end of an unending thread whose other end winds far, far back into the mists of time. We continue in the tradition of those threadmakers, whose efforts warmed and protected our families and kept the human race both safe and properly decorated. Our threads flow like the wind through our fingers, made from the fibers of earth.
