On March 21, we officially launched “Cashmere on Ice,” a fiber arts competition in collaboration with Long Thread Media to support the United Nations, “Year of Glaciers’ Preservation.” We want fiber artists around the world to use their heart and creative hands to help promote awareness about the harsh realities of climate change among the herders who provide the world with natural fibers.

​

Our Wild Fibers family at the Pangong Craft Center in Ladakh, India, is among those feeling the impact of vanishing water supplies and loss of livestock. There is a $500 cash prize for the "Best of Ladakh" category.
