Market Place

Market Place

 

Indulge your fiber fantasies among our amazing vendors. Be tempted by fibers of all descriptions; tools and toys; and supplies for weaving, braiding, knitting, dyeing, spinning – every branch of the fiber experience. Explore new fiber experiences with demonstrations and hands-on activities and get more fiber in your life. The Market Place is open to the public throughout the conference. For those not attending the conference, but who want to enjoy the Market Place, on Friday there will be free admission to the Market Place beginning at 4:00 PM. Take BART for easy access.

 

If frantic Friday is not your cup of tea, try Sunday Shopping with half-price admission. Sunday is commuter-free with more on-street parking. Less crowded public transportation makes it a good time for an outing.
