The Southern California Handweavers’ Guild invites the public to a day of creativity, color, and craft at its annual Weaving & Fiber Festival (WeFF 2025) on Saturday, November 8, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Teen Center.
In a time when digital screens dominate our lives, WeFF 2025 offers a tactile, hands-on respite—a chance to slow down, touch fibers, spin a yarn (literally), watch a shuttle fly, and connect with a community of makers. Whether you’re looking for inspiration, materials, a gift, or simply a fresh way to engage your creativity, this festival is designed to welcome novices and experts alike.
Highlights Include:
Try Your Hand! The festival features live demonstrations of various fiber crafts, with opportunities for the public to try out different types of looms and techniques.
Unique Shopping: A curated selection of top fiber-arts vendors will be on site, offering luscious hand-dyed yarns, spinning fibers, and specialized weaving equipment.
