Heartland Threads
Heartland Threads Fibershed is a non-profit charitable organization focusing on local fiber and textiles in SW Wisconsin & NW Illinois, USA. We are building a supportive network for fiber & textile growers, processors, makers, and consumers.
Flax Survey
We need your input! Flax is an underutilized fiber option with many opportunities for local growers and processors.
Field to Fingers Challenge
You are invited to participate in the 2022 Field to Fingers Challenge! Use fiber or leather grown or thrifted from within our Fibershed to create mittens, gloves, fingerless gloves, oven mitts, or any hand item. Use any method or combination of methods: knit, crochet, felt, weave, braid, sew, or your own technique.
Our Mission:
To stimulate a networking “fiberculture” of producers and users of local regenerative fibers & textiles within the HEARTLAND THREADS Fibershed region, emphasizing the economic, environmental, and community benefits of these connections.
