The Bay of Plenty Creative Fibre area extends from Ohiwa Harbour near Opotiki, to Whakatane, and across to Rotorua, and up to the Tauranga area. Seven groups meet regularly, learning and sharing new skills. Teaching workshops are sometimes held. Interests of members cover a wide range including spinning, knitting, crochet, weaving, felting, embellishing, braiding etc. Several clubs exhibit on a regular basis and there is an Area exhibition biennially.
