  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;After a long day at work, how about a little creative time with friends mid-week? This is not a class - you should know how to stitch, crochet, knit, or practice your favorite fiber craft but we suspect you will learn something along the way. We have experienced fiber enthusiasts in our group, so you can count on getting and giving some advice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials supplied by participants&lt;/strong&gt;: Please bring whatever project/s you are working on, items for show and tell as well as yarn or fiber-y acquisitions and new project ideas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Bring your own supper or snack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skill level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;All skill levels are welcome, but some basic knowledge of fiber arts is encouraged.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This is a free event for members, but please sign up so we know how many to expect.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Each monthly gathering will provide opportunities to refresh foundational techniques, participate in stitchalong projects, and discover the artistry behind&amp;nbsp;sashiko&amp;nbsp;and boro through profiles of notable makers and exhibits. Whether you are new to these practices or a seasoned stitcher, the group will foster skill-building, creativity, and appreciation for the cultural heritage woven into every stitch.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Together, we’ll cultivate inspiration, share resources, and deepen our connection to this timeless craft in a collaborative and engaging environment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Dye Lab (07 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/Dye%20Lab%20(1).png" alt="" title="" border="1" width="500" height="500" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Local Cloth Dye Lab is open from 1-4 for working on your own acid-dye projects. This is for advanced beginners and beyond. You must have attended a dye lab introduction session or have done some dyeing with acid dyes in the past. Bring your own pre-soaked protein fiber* - wool, mohair, alpaca or silk. Local Cloth has most of what you'll need for dyeing, although some personal items that you should bring are rubber gloves, mask, dish tub and specific dyes that you want to use. There are also donated dyes available for use. We use a variety of techniques and equipment - low water immersion, steaming, crockpot dyeing, etc. There is an experienced host - Beth Sellars should you need consultation in getting the result you want. Space is limited so please register!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;*Acid dyes do not work on cotton, linen, bamboo or any plant fiber.&amp;nbsp; We only work with Protein (animal) fibers during this Dye Lab.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Advanced Beginners to Expert&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Dye Lab (04 June 2026)</title>

This is for advanced beginners and beyond. You must have attended a dye lab introduction session or have done some dyeing with acid dyes in the past. Bring your own pre-soaked protein fiber* - wool, mohair, alpaca or silk. Local Cloth has most of what you'll need for dyeing, although some personal items that you should bring are rubber gloves, mask, dish tub and specific dyes that you want to use. There are also donated dyes available for use. We use a variety of techniques and equipment - low water immersion, steaming, crockpot dyeing, etc. There is an experienced host - Beth Sellars should you need consultation in getting the result you want. Space is limited so please register!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;*Acid dyes do not work on cotton, linen, bamboo or any plant fiber.&amp;nbsp; We only work with Protein (animal) fibers during this Dye Lab.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Advanced Beginners to Expert&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#222222"&gt;Mending Matters sessions will be facilitated by Gail Lazaras, but with all gathered teaching and learning from one another.

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;After a long day at work, how about a little creative time with friends mid-week?

This is for advanced beginners and beyond. You must have attended a dye lab introduction session or have done some dyeing with acid dyes in the past. Bring your own pre-soaked protein fiber* - wool, mohair, alpaca or silk. Local Cloth has most of what you'll need for dyeing, although some personal items that you should bring are rubber gloves, mask, dish tub and specific dyes that you want to use. There are also donated dyes available for use. We use a variety of techniques and equipment - low water immersion, steaming, crockpot dyeing, etc. There is an experienced host - Beth Sellars should you need consultation in getting the result you want. Space is limited so please register!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;*Acid dyes do not work on cotton, linen, bamboo or any plant fiber.&amp;nbsp; We only work with Protein (animal) fibers during this Dye Lab.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

This is for advanced beginners and beyond. You must have attended a dye lab introduction session or have done some dyeing with acid dyes in the past. Bring your own pre-soaked protein fiber* - wool, mohair, alpaca or silk. Local Cloth has most of what you'll need for dyeing, although some personal items that you should bring are rubber gloves, mask, dish tub and specific dyes that you want to use. There are also donated dyes available for use. We use a variety of techniques and equipment - low water immersion, steaming, crockpot dyeing, etc. There is an experienced host - Beth Sellars should you need consultation in getting the result you want. Space is limited so please register!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;*Acid dyes do not work on cotton, linen, bamboo or any plant fiber.&amp;nbsp; We only work with Protein (animal) fibers during this Dye Lab.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Advanced Beginners to Expert&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Ubuntu"&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Sashiko&amp;nbsp;and Boro Interest Group at Local Cloth Fiber Studio in Asheville offers a welcoming space for fiber enthusiasts to explore and celebrate the rich traditions of Japanese hand-stitching. Each monthly gathering will provide opportunities to refresh foundational techniques, participate in stitchalong projects, and discover the artistry behind&amp;nbsp;sashiko&amp;nbsp;and boro through profiles of notable makers and exhibits. Whether you are new to these practices or a seasoned stitcher, the group will foster skill-building, creativity, and appreciation for the cultural heritage woven into every stitch.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Ubuntu"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  Beyond technique, the group will highlight current trends and innovations in the&amp;nbsp;sashiko&amp;nbsp;world, from new tools and products to contemporary interpretations of traditional practices.&amp;nbsp;Members will enjoy lively discussions, hands-on exploration, and a supportive community that values both the meditative process and the expressive potential of rhythmic stitching. Together, we’ll cultivate inspiration, share resources, and deepen our connection to this timeless craft in a collaborative and engaging environment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

This is for advanced beginners and beyond. You must have attended a dye lab introduction session or have done some dyeing with acid dyes in the past. Bring your own pre-soaked protein fiber* - wool, mohair, alpaca or silk. Local Cloth has most of what you'll need for dyeing, although some personal items that you should bring are rubber gloves, mask, dish tub and specific dyes that you want to use. There are also donated dyes available for use. We use a variety of techniques and equipment - low water immersion, steaming, crockpot dyeing, etc. There is an experienced host - Beth Sellars should you need consultation in getting the result you want. Space is limited so please register!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;*Acid dyes do not work on cotton, linen, bamboo or any plant fiber.&amp;nbsp; We only work with Protein (animal) fibers during this Dye Lab.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Advanced Beginners to Expert&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;After a long day at work, how about a little creative time with friends mid-week?

We have experienced fiber enthusiasts in our group, so you can count on getting and giving some advice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials supplied by participants&lt;/strong&gt;: Please bring whatever project/s you are working on, items for show and tell as well as yarn or fiber-y acquisitions and new project ideas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Bring your own supper or snack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skill level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;All skill levels are welcome, but some basic knowledge of fiber arts is encouraged.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This is a free event for members, but please sign up so we know how many to expect.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;After a long day at work, how about a little creative time with friends mid-week? This is not a class - you should know how to stitch, crochet, knit, or practice your favorite fiber craft but we suspect you will learn something along the way. We have experienced fiber enthusiasts in our group, so you can count on getting and giving some advice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials supplied by participants&lt;/strong&gt;: Please bring whatever project/s you are working on, items for show and tell as well as yarn or fiber-y acquisitions and new project ideas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Bring your own supper or snack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skill level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;All skill levels are welcome, but some basic knowledge of fiber arts is encouraged.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This is a free event for members, but please sign up so we know how many to expect.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

This is for advanced beginners and beyond. You must have attended a dye lab introduction session or have done some dyeing with acid dyes in the past. Bring your own pre-soaked protein fiber* - wool, mohair, alpaca or silk. Local Cloth has most of what you'll need for dyeing, although some personal items that you should bring are rubber gloves, mask, dish tub and specific dyes that you want to use. There are also donated dyes available for use. We use a variety of techniques and equipment - low water immersion, steaming, crockpot dyeing, etc. There is an experienced host - Beth Sellars should you need consultation in getting the result you want. Space is limited so please register!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;*Acid dyes do not work on cotton, linen, bamboo or any plant fiber.&amp;nbsp; We only work with Protein (animal) fibers during this Dye Lab.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Dye Lab (05 November 2026)</title>

This is for advanced beginners and beyond. You must have attended a dye lab introduction session or have done some dyeing with acid dyes in the past. Bring your own pre-soaked protein fiber* - wool, mohair, alpaca or silk. Local Cloth has most of what you'll need for dyeing, although some personal items that you should bring are rubber gloves, mask, dish tub and specific dyes that you want to use. There are also donated dyes available for use. We use a variety of techniques and equipment - low water immersion, steaming, crockpot dyeing, etc. There is an experienced host - Beth Sellars should you need consultation in getting the result you want. Space is limited so please register!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;*Acid dyes do not work on cotton, linen, bamboo or any plant fiber.&amp;nbsp; We only work with Protein (animal) fibers during this Dye Lab.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Advanced Beginners to Expert&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Ubuntu"&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Sashiko&amp;nbsp;and Boro Interest Group at Local Cloth Fiber Studio in Asheville offers a welcoming space for fiber enthusiasts to explore and celebrate the rich traditions of Japanese hand-stitching. Each monthly gathering will provide opportunities to refresh foundational techniques, participate in stitchalong projects, and discover the artistry behind&amp;nbsp;sashiko&amp;nbsp;and boro through profiles of notable makers and exhibits. Whether you are new to these practices or a seasoned stitcher, the group will foster skill-building, creativity, and appreciation for the cultural heritage woven into every stitch.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Ubuntu"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  Beyond technique, the group will highlight current trends and innovations in the&amp;nbsp;sashiko&amp;nbsp;world, from new tools and products to contemporary interpretations of traditional practices.&amp;nbsp;Members will enjoy lively discussions, hands-on exploration, and a supportive community that values both the meditative process and the expressive potential of rhythmic stitching. Together, we’ll cultivate inspiration, share resources, and deepen our connection to this timeless craft in a collaborative and engaging environment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Dye Lab (03 December 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/Dye%20Lab%20(1).png" alt="" title="" border="1" width="500" height="500" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Local Cloth Dye Lab is open from 1-4 for working on your own acid-dye projects. This is for advanced beginners and beyond. You must have attended a dye lab introduction session or have done some dyeing with acid dyes in the past. Bring your own pre-soaked protein fiber* - wool, mohair, alpaca or silk. Local Cloth has most of what you'll need for dyeing, although some personal items that you should bring are rubber gloves, mask, dish tub and specific dyes that you want to use. There are also donated dyes available for use. We use a variety of techniques and equipment - low water immersion, steaming, crockpot dyeing, etc. There is an experienced host - Beth Sellars should you need consultation in getting the result you want. Space is limited so please register!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;*Acid dyes do not work on cotton, linen, bamboo or any plant fiber.&amp;nbsp; We only work with Protein (animal) fibers during this Dye Lab.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Advanced Beginners to Expert&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Host:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Beth Sellars&amp;nbsp;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="https://localcloth.org/Our-Instructors"&gt;&lt;font color="#30E3DF" face="Ubuntu"&gt;bio&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font face="Ubuntu"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Each monthly gathering will provide opportunities to refresh foundational techniques, participate in stitchalong projects, and discover the artistry behind&amp;nbsp;sashiko&amp;nbsp;and boro through profiles of notable makers and exhibits. Whether you are new to these practices or a seasoned stitcher, the group will foster skill-building, creativity, and appreciation for the cultural heritage woven into every stitch.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Together, we’ll cultivate inspiration, share resources, and deepen our connection to this timeless craft in a collaborative and engaging environment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
