unravel... a festival of yarn

festivals and events

the largest independent yarn show in the south east of England

unravel is a much-loved yarn festival presented twice a year at Farnham Maltings

Each edition of unravel brings together a vibrant community of knitters, crocheters, spinners, weavers and makers for several days of textiles, creativity and connection. While both events share a focus on high-quality materials, thoughtful making and independent craft, they offer two very different experiences:

unravel... a festival of yarn
Held every February, the renowned festival runs over three days and features a packed programme of bookable workshops, free talks, exhibitions and a diverse marketplace of exhibitors from across the UK and beyond.

The next edition will take place on Friday 13 - Sunday 15 February 2026. Tickets will be available from October 2025. Exhibitor applications have now closed and the programme will be announced closer to the time.

unravel… autumn
Taking place each September, this is a quieter and more reflective edition with a focus on seasonal making, sustainability and creativity. Visitors can explore the carefully curated marketplace, join practical workshops, and hear in-depth from artists and makers working across the fibre arts, whilst enjoying the beautiful location both inside and outside.
