September 28 - September 29
The Festival of Yarn and Woolly Creativity in the North.
Championing the brilliance and versatility of wool, our award-winning festival is a show for everyone interested in making. Over the last weekend of September Yarndale brings together a splendid variety of exhibitors with yarny stuff to sell and thousands of visitors, who come to browse, squish and buy yarn to make.
The show is designed to get everyone making, to share ideas, to inspire individual creativity with the chance to meet and chat with others from all over the country and beyond, get thoroughly enthused by new project possibilities and a fabulous range of yarny stuff, to celebrate all things handmade and generally get creative with yarn.
We tell the story of the yarn journey,from the woolly animals themselves, through all the various stages of production to the beautiful finished products which are displayed so beautifully in the pens.
Keen to encourage and inspire creativity in everyone, we work with an extensive mix of enthusiastic exhibitors, tutors and speakers to showcase the pleasure of making and the beautiful yarns, threads and textiles on offer.
