sometimes you gotta
we'll be closed today

04/12/2026

06/01/2025

Editing & updating time.

So, Monday, the 2nd day of June 2025, is TODAY.

Earth Guild will be open as usual.

The City of Asheville DID close Haywood Street, and the sidewalk, from Battery Park Avenue to Walnut Street to put new AC equipment on the roof of the building next door to us.

But they got done early, way earlier than expected. They were all finished by 10:00 am

So, everything is suddenly normal. We'll be open 11-5 as usual, and so is the street and the sidewalk.

Come on by.

Local Cloth, updated today. They're really here.

12/08/2024

Local Cloth has been a beloved enterprise in the Asheville fiber community for more than a dozen years. They run classes and workshops, they house studios for fiber artists, they help their members to sell fibers and yarns and finished products.

Hurricane Helene, and the flooding of the entire River Arts District pretty much wiped them out. Eleven feet of stormy water destroyed equipment and stock and structure. Devastation.

Except, not the people. They're bringing it back. The building will be restored, the workshops will continue here and there around town, their members will continue to raise fleece and spin yarns, and weave and knit and dye.

In a couple of months, things should be normal. Ish. If you ignore the destruction and focus on the rebuilding and squint a little sidewards.

Meanwhile Earth Guild is pleased to partner with that recovery effort by turning over some space in our store to their members, so maybe there can be a little bit of Christmas this year after all.

For the next month or two or so, come to Earth Guild, and get a taste of Local Cloth, same trip.

We'll replace the photo here with some fresh and focused ones over the next day or two, but we're ready to go Monday the 9th of December, for as long as it takes. M-F, 11-5.

Come by and double shot shop. Hey, triple: From Afar is back, too.

We've got **water** in the building.
It's not pretty, but very welcome.

The work continues to make it potable.
But you gotta say *yes* to a good flush.

Thanks to all the crews combining
their efforts to make it happen.
