About Us
Fiber Trends was established in 1994 by Bev Galeskas, from the beginning Fiber Trends’ patterns were sold through retail yarn stores and this continued support has allowed us to expand our line to over 200 patterns and products. Fiber Trends resides in East Wenatchee, Washington. East Wenatchee is part of the Wenatchee Valley which is pretty much smack in the middle of the state and on the eastern slope of the Cascades.
