DFW Fiber Fest, the premier fiber festival in North Texas, was founded in 2005 with the goal to support the knitting, crochet and spinning craft community in the DFW Metroplex. While other areas of the country had big fiber events, the south central area of the U.S. was mostly under served, and DFW Fiber Fest was formed to help fill the need to for fiber enthusiasts to come together, learn and support the fiber community. To that end, the first DFW Fiber Fest yearly event was held in the Spring of 2006 in Addison, Texas. DFW Fiber Fest has been built on a dual foundation – providing an educational venue and producing a well-curated vendor hall for fiber enthusiasts of all skill levels.
