About DFW Fiber Fest 2015

DFW Fiber Fest is the premier annual fiber event in the Dallas-Fort Worth community. Held each Spring, DFW Fiber Fest is a locally focused non-profit organization that offers both vendors and classes. They bring in a juried selection of local and regional fiber vendors (with a few who are from outside of our regional area to spice up the mix). Educationally, we offer a slate of classes from both nationally known and local teachers in the fiber arts – primarily in knitting, crochet, and spinning. (For more about DFW Fiber fest, see the “About” page.) http://dfwfiberfest.org/about.html

Isaiah Jones

This is Isaiah Jones he just turned 8 years old he is the son of Kelly and Daryl Jones owners of Kiss looms. When not in school or playing with his little sister Ruth, or his friends he’s working hard side by side with his Mom and dad, Grandpa & Grandma making Kiss looms.

I asked Isiah what kind of jobs he helps with in making the Kiss loom? Bending pegs, putting washers on bolts, counting washers for bags of 30, assemble completed looms.

What is his favorite job in helping with making the Kiss looms, his reply was bending pegs for the looms.

It was such an honor to interview this young man; it is nice to see children taking an interest in a family business and at such a young age. Isaiah you are one fine young man keep up the good work. It won’t be long and you will be making the entire Kiss loom.
