The south-east's largest yarn festival welcomes creatives and makers over three packed days to celebrate all things yarn-based, from knitting and crochet to spinning and weaving. Visit the curated marketplace to discover hand-dyed yarns from local and international traders, handmade notions, and patterns by indie knit and crochet designers.

The three-day event also offers plenty of opportunities to get involved and come together amongst a warm, fibre community. Elevate your experience by attending a free talk, develop your skills at one of the many bookable workshops, or join the much-loved Knit Night Social* in the Riverside Cafe for an informal evening of stitching, chatting, and good food in lovely company.

*Knit Night tickets sold separately. Coming soon.
