A celebration of fiber arts and old-time artisan skills!
At the Johnson County Fairgrounds in Franklin, Indiana - 2026 Dates: Friday, June 5 & Saturday, June 6
Fiber Arts Archway
In 2026 we will be continuing our collaborative fiber arts archway. You can still make a peony to add to our Peony Arch, but we will also be starting a new arch. This one filled with butterflies!
​
One of our volunteers created the crochet pattern below to make a sweet little butterfly that works up fast. We've also included some links to other patterns, both crochet and knit. But you can also use your own pattern, or any that you find, and we're even open to butterflies made out of things that are not fiber arts! Get creative and join in the fun!
​
If you'd like to make a peony to add to our Peony Archway, you can find info here: https://www.hoosierhillsfiberfestival.com/peony-archway
