Welcome to the 2019
Heart of New Mexico
Fiber Gathering

August 31 & September 1

Come join us at the wonderful Wildlife West Nature Park and Rescue Zoo in Edgewood, New Mexico!  The Gathering is held in conjunction with the park's Harvest Festival and the Harvest Festival Art Show.  Two fun filled days filled with fiber vendors selling everything from raw fleeces to finished products and fiber equipment, awesome arts and crafts, produce, competitions, demonstrations, fiber animals, live music and yummy food!  All proceeds, besides a small amount for seed money for next year, is donated to Wildlife West to help maintain this wonderful park.


On this site you will find a section dedicated to downloads for vendor applications and guidelines, competition information and entry blanks and information and a form for becoming a sponsor.


If you have any questions there is also a contact section.


We hope to see all of you at the 2019 Heart of New Mexico Fiber Gathering!
