The Wilson College of Textiles is very excited to host the first annual Evolving Textiles Conference: Materializing the Future. This year’s themes are circularity in textiles and alternative fibers.

While all alternative fibers are welcome, the focus is on hemp, a fiber with exceeding potential and rapid development in the United States. Progress in hemp is being made across NC State University — in the Wilson College of Textiles, the College of Natural Resources, and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
