Email thevancouverfibreshed@gmail.com and we will do our best to support.

A Peak Into Fibres From Our Fibreshed

We are thrilled to be able to share, as a resource, this document created by artist Anna Heywood Jones as part of her time as an Artist in Residence in 2022. This PDF is an archive and library of what local cloth in our fibreshed can look like.

Flax for Linen

EartHand is a proud member of NALA: the North American Linen Association

EartHand has been working with the Kwantlen Polytechnic University agriculture department’s farm school for local flax seed trials and brings the flax for linen straw grown into our programs for community learning.

Several of our members are active with the UBC fibre learning garden, and students in UBC engineering and design are supported in their learning through school-sponsored attendance at our flax-to-linen programs.
