FLOCK: A Celebration of Regional Fiber

  • Union Square Greenmarket (South Entrance) East 17th Street New York, NY, 10003 United States (map)

In person / Fair / Multiple Techniques

FLOCK to GrowNYC's Union Square Greenmarket to celebrate and learn about regional, regenerative textile production that's happening right here in New York state! Produced in collaboration with New York Fibershed and New York Textile Lab, we'll have interactive demos so you can learn more about the process of transforming fibers from raw fleece to finished woven products with techniques such as spinning, carding, weaving, natural dyeing, and more. Meet your farmers from Catskill Merino Farm, Rosehaven Alpaca, Dashing Star Farm, and Lilymoore Farm and stock up on their sheep and alpaca products from yarn, wool socks, fleeces, and more. FLOCK goers can also participate in our community weaving project, learn about natural dyes with the founder of the Pratt Dye Garden, and more!

No registration required.
