NEXT FIBER EXCHANGE: JANUARY 15, MAY 15, and SEPTEMBER 15, 2025
A Fiber Exchange is when a large group of sewists each buys a skein of yarn (or in this Fiber Exchange, three skeins), cut it into shorter useable lengths (10 feet/3 meters from each skein), and then swap the fibers between other participants. The result is that each person ends up with a wide variety of fibers to try out for couching or surface embellishment projects. You will end up with 60 different fibers from the Fiber Exchange.
If you would like a variety of yarns and novelty fibers to use in future projects without spending a ton of money, then join us for the Sewing Mastery Stitching Cosmos 2025 Fiber Exchange! A Fiber Exchange is a cost-effective way to increase your fiber collection by exchanging it with 20 other people.
