We are collecting many fiber donations for our Hair Matters program, some of them are more exotic than others.  With our research partners we also started looking at the properties of different types of hair, fur, fleece.  Soon we got the idea from Aubrey, a wonderful mentor who came up with the idea of a Fibrary.

We hope you’ll join us in collecting and chronicling fibers and feathers from all kinds of animals and plants.  We are working with zoos, ranches, pet owners, farms, gardeners and more.   How they break down in soil. How much oil they collect. Are they hydrophobic. How do microbes, fungi, seagrasses, kelp, crustaceans work with fibers naturally and symbiotically.

We are also looking at synthetic waste fibers used in hair extensions, costume wigs, combo natural and synthetic wigs, laundry lint, synthetc wine corks etc. for insulation and noise reduction properties.

Please join us and together lets celebrate Mother Nature’s amazing fibers and sort waste into resources!
