Northwest Spinners and Fiber Arts
(Formerly NwRSA)
The Northwest Spinners and Fiber Arts Association is a 501(c3) non-profit organization providing a network of western states that:
- Promotes a community for the art and craft of handspinning and associated fiber arts.
- Provides a communication network of fiber-related groups, guilds, and businesses in the Pacific Northwest.
- Provides opportunities to share, learn, educate, and work together on a local and regional basis.
- Provides public outreach dedicated to continued development of handspinning and fiber arts.
- Trains judges to evaluate handspun yarns, weaving and knitting at fiber contests and fairs.
- Awards grants and Scholarships to handspinners and fiber crafters to further their skills and knowledge in the fiber arts.
- Sponsors educational opportunities throughout the year either on-line or in-person, such as talks, workshops, and retreats.
We are here to help each other build our spinning techniques, materials processing, dyeing and other skills in the fiber arts. Although focused on the Northwest, we welcome all who would like to join.
