Fisher Cat Fiber Co.

 

Welcome to Fisher Cat Fiber Co.

We are artists and craftspeople who utilize what we find in front of us, in ways that continually evolve. We upcycle, we recycle, we distill, refine, and create anew. We work with fibers, with locally foraged plants, lichen, and fungi, with random fragments and remnants of other times and other lives. From this process come one-of-a-kind home pieces, wovenwear, and yarns in a range of organically derived hues.

Yesterday, while on a local hiking trail, we came across *Fomes fomentarius*—commonly known as horse hoof or tinder conk mushroom. It reminded me of when several trees were cleared in front of our home. I collected a few tinker conks from them,
We harvested nearly three pounds of honey mushrooms from the backwoods—fresh and bug-free! Timing is everything with mushroom hunting—it’s kind of like real hunting, I imagine, though I’ve never done that. Maybe that's why we
Happy Fall! 🍁 Our favorite time to forage for natural dyes and host our annual workshop. Teaching is a passion of mine, I love to share about the abundance of color this season has to offer. Last year, I had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances
