Welcome to NoVA DSA’s Fiber Arts group!
This group aims to promote, celebrate, and build community around the fiber arts, including knitting, crocheting, sewing, embroidering, felting, and needle-punching. This group is a way for members to develop fiber skills, mitigate burnout, and connect organizers who normally work in different realms.
Overall, we believe having a fiber arts community strengthens our bonds as organizers and community members while curating a low-barrier space where organizers can exchange ideas and be creative.
Everyone is welcome, and we are kid friendly.
We are knitting/crocheting things (hats, blankets, etc) to donate! This month we are also assembling newly translated Spanish zines!
Everyone is encouraged to bring their current projects. If you don't have a current project, crochet plastic yarn for mats with us. (Bring your clean plastic bags to recycle into yarn!) And/or assemble zines!
Please bring any items to be donated (finished hats, blankets, socks, hygiene items, non-perishable food, etc) for the next NoVA Mutual Aid WG distribution event. To help fund our distribution events click here or access our Amazon wishlist here.
Free EC 4 DC kits. The Bodily Autonomy Working Group, in partnership with EC 4 DC, will provide reproductive and sexual health care kits at this event. These kits are free, and include a dose of Plan B, pregnancy tests & cup, condoms, and an informational zine. Please note you may take as many kits as you wish. This is first come, first served.
