MEREDITH ― The League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, Meredith Fine Craft Gallery is proud to present a curated collection of wearable fiber art by various talented artists, each bringing warmth, sustainability, and timeless craftsmanship to their work. Rooted in natural materials and traditional techniques, these pieces celebrate comfort with character.

The collection features Donna Townshend Wilson’s cozy wool-felted hats crafted from her own sheep and lamb’s wool, and luxurious Angora Goat Mohair. Each one of her hats is hand-formed for warmth, durability, and a beautifully organic feel. Tom Hayward’s soft Tibetan lamb boas add an element of texture and elegance, offering both warmth and dramatic flair.

Complementing the wool pieces are Doug Masury’s 100% bamboo scarves, hand-dyed in rich, luminous colors. Lightweight yet insulating, these scarves drape effortlessly and showcase the unique variations that only hand-dyeing can achieve.

Rounding out the collection are Joyce Castiglione’s fleece-lined mittens thoughtfully upcycled from vintage wool sweaters. Each pair is one of a kind, blending sustainability with cozy practicality and giving new life to well-loved textiles.

Together, these works highlight the artistry of fiber, the beauty of natural materials, and the value of handmade goods designed to be worn, loved, and lived in. Perfect for cold days and thoughtful gifting, this collection invites visitors to wrap themselves in warmth while supporting skilled makers and sustainable practices.
