Wild Fibers is dedicated to understanding
the importance of natural fibers throughout the world,
while promoting cultural awareness and human potential.
What's New?
It's Our 20th Anniversary!
The premiere issue of Wild Fibers was published in January 2004. I remember driving home from the printer with 2000 copies in the back of my friend's pick-up truck, feeling both terribly excited and terribly nervous. And that's how it all began . . . 20 years ago.
​
Join our celebration on January 24th with a special presentation on the early years and the extraordinary tale of the musk ox.
Explore all the ways we have celebrated the world of natural fibers since 2004

Twisted Tales
By Linda N. Cortright
Filled with spectacular photos and unusual escapades, Wild Fibers editor Linda Cortright goes behind the scenes with stories that are both terrifying and comical—a common pattern throughout many of her travels. Cortright narrowly escapes a devastating earthquake in Tibet, being "stabbed" (by a child!) in Jordan, and a faulty escape route in Afghanistan are just the beginning.
The Eye of Fiber
By Linda N. Cortright
Nearly every sheep or goat in America has a passport from somewhere else. The Eye of Fiber provides a fascinating overview of their history and cultural significance from the desert of Namibia to the mountains in Romania. This is a coffee table must for anyone who interested in natural fibers.
