Preliminary Schedule of Events Beautiful yarns, luxuriant fabrics, stunning clothes: all made of natural fibres that come from barnyards and fields, plants and animals, the commonplace and the exotic. The Fibre to Fashion Festival lifts the veil to reveal where all that wonderful ‘stuff’ comes from. |
