What is the virtual vendor event?
Our vendor hall page will be routinely updated with information we receive from our vendors (if you haven’t looked lately, we have made some changes already!). There’s also a free giveaway for a project bag and gift card, so be sure to check out this page and enter! Unfortunately, we do not have the bandwidth to host virtual trunk shows in addition to offering classes, but we will do our best to share info about vendors on social media as we can.
Will you have raffle prizes and door prizes?

Can you tell me more about how the classes are going to work June 26-28?
The concept of hosting live online classes are as new for us as it is for you. We have tried to make a general list of rules and expectations below. Help us help everyone have a great fiber fest weekend! All meeting links are up on our Classes page (each class has a unique link). You do not have to register or sign up to attend- just click the link right before the class starts, and a member of the Houston Fiber Fest will admit you to the meeting.
- Please try to join the class a few minutes before the scheduled time- this will help the beginning be smoother and give time to answer technical questions as needed.
- After joining the meeting, hover over the teacher and push the “pin” icon to make the teacher the focal point throughout the event.
- Everyone but the teacher will be muted during the class. Please respect this- times to unmute will be announced, and there is a chat function as part of Google Meet.
- Let’s keep it fiber related- no harsh language, no politics
- All classes will be recorded .
Have questions about Google Meet tech requirements? See article linked here.
All classes will have a member from the Houston Fiber Fest as moderator. You will be removed from the event if you are a disruption or are ruining the class for others. Our goal is to make this a super fun weekend, so let’s work together to make this an unforgettable year!
What are we doing about the charity?
Our charity focus is the heart of our event, and we haven’t forgotten about this piece. Head over to our Charity page for information on how to purchase a ticket for our charity raffle, and where to send your knitted knockers for entry as well! All charity entries will be accepted through July 10, 2020.
Can I get some merch with that new awesome logo?
Yeah you can! We are using a company called Threadless to get you access to some great stuff. There are shirts, bags, buttons, magnets, and more! Link to Houston Fiber Fest’s Threadless Store here.
Thanks for your patience as we worked through all the details- Hope you’re as excited as we are!
