On September 27, Hurricane Helene flooded the Local Cloth Studio, wiping out the inventory of our fiber artists and farmers. With the doors of our brick and mortar Shop temporarily closed, Local Cloth has opened a special Online Shop for the holidays, featuring selected items from our vendors. You can also continue to shop our Online Blanket Store, which features restored Blue Ridge Blankets and pre-orders for 2025.
Winner of the 2024 Best in Asheville Award for Best Boutique Shop, the Local Cloth Retail Shop features work from over 70 Local Cloth vendors, representing multiple types of fiber materials and arts, including weaving, knitting, felting, crochet, eco-printing, paper, books, sewing, marbling, batik, quilting, garden products, roving and spun yarn. We carry hand-sewn and hand-dyed garments, totes and accessories, home decor, art, books, fiber supplies and yarn, and unique gifts for every occasion. The Limited Edition Blue Ridge Blankets are also available for purchase in the Retail Shop.
All purchases from our Online Retail Shop support both the fiber artists and farmers (who handcrafted the item or raised the animals that produced the fiber sold) and the work of Local Cloth, enabling us to continue providing programming and events that strengthen our local fiber economy.
