ISRAEL FIBER NETWORK

This directory is a non-commercial listing of fiber enthusiasts in Israel. The e-mail addresses have not been formatted as live links in order to make it difficult for spammers to "harvest" them. If you would like to join us, just e-mail me. I interpret "fiber" pretty loosely, so if your interests are paper-making, basketry, textile techniques with non-traditional materials--I'll consider almost anything that doesn't involve styrofoam peanuts ;-) -- then you are welcome to join!
