Fibers intertwine and connect us all to the earth, our community and ourselves. When you wear natural fibers for are honoring traditions of blending, weaving, knitting fibers together to create lasting beauty.
One of my personal goals of 2026 is to exclusively wear natural fabrics, I find them to be more breathable, comfortable and long lasting which enables me to be fashionable and save money over time. 2026 is all about luxury that is comfortable that allows you joy and to conserve resources by having fewer high quality items instead of paying a lot for a bunch of fast fashion.
Having renewable fashion is very on trend for 2026. Akron company Tansy Recycling is one of my favorite shops to find unique pieces of upscaled clothing and cute recycled buttons that add pizazz to any outfit. Their mission is to tackle plastic waste in Summit County by recycling plastics that are otherwise not handled locally.
The Cleveland Fibershed is another regional organization that is focused on supporting fiber artists and fiber farmers. On Saturday January 24th, they will have their 3rd annual Rust Belt Fibershed Symposium which will be a day filled with creativity, inspiration and a community with place based textiles. Its the perfect place to network, learn and have some winter fun! Starting at 8am until 4pm there will be speakers, snacks, a fashion show, demos, a clothing swap, and a seed swap! It will be a a day filled with wonderful, learning and exploration into the fiber world. Winter is a beautiful time of calm, serenity, and peace and a great time to explore new hobbies, the fiber arts are a great way to carve out time for yourself and to center yourself in a world of caring, love and exploration.
XOXO
Frolicking Americana.
