Affordable Fiber Arts Patterns & Supplies

While the fiber arts has a lot of benefits as a hobby, it can also quickly become too expensive to participate in fiber arts crafts. This post is meant to highlight businesses that are trying to make the fiber arts more accessible to all. Businesses are only included if we could verify discount information via their website/profiles. If you see any information that needs to be changed or would like to see a business added, please let us know via the contact form on the homepage.
