Wool Gatherings

Welcome to Wool Gatherings! We run yarn festivals in the north and midlands of England. Currently we run three each year. You can find out more about each wool gathering and about us on this site.

What is a wool gathering?

Wool gathering is our name for a yarn festival. It’s a gathering of people with a love for wool and fibre, and the associated crafts. We bring together exhibitors who sell wool-related things with visitors who want to buy from those exhibitors, as well as learn more about certain skills.

We’ve been running events for ten years. You can find out more about our history on our who we are page.
