The popular annual festival is touted as “an annual event that celebrates the independent fiber artists who keep many time-honored handcrafts alive.”
According to the YAC website: For over five years, the festival has become one of the major winter events in Oxford; one that draws vendors and attendees from across the region. It is a family-friendly festival with a significant education component that includes children’s arts classes and over two dozen workshops.
