We are a co-op that formed in 2012 to create interest in the fiber arts and to get locally grown fiber into the hands of local spinners, weavers, knitters, and other needlework enthusiasts.
The Anoka Fiber Arts Co-op has ‘store-front’ space at Anoka Fiber Works at 4153 C**n Rapids Blvd, in C**n Rapids, Minnesota. There are spinning wheels, looms, roving from sheep and alpacas, and lots of unique yarn. You’ll find lots of finished items that are knit, woven and felted from a variety of natural fibers. The items you will find for sale will change as the members create new things to share.

What's been going around at AFW? Deb C's spindle! Here's what she's been working on. Check the captions on the photos for details of the progress. And stop in tomorrow, Saturday, 10 - 5, to check out the vendors she's spinning!
She says:
"This week I needed to freshen up my spinning, so I bought a small bag of Gotland roving (which I’d not spun before) from Wether’sfield Wool Farm and some Green Border Leicester from Ewespun Fiber Mill. I lightly hand carded them together and really enjoyed the spin with my wheel. It’s nice to take the time and walk around to check out what my fellow vendors have in their spots. Lots of goodies!"
