Marking its tenth anniversary in 2025, the event welcomes exhibitors from across Scotland and beyond, specialising in natural fibres, hand-dyed yarns, tools, and accessories. A programme of talks and workshops runs alongside the curated marketplace, with social meet-ups and evening events for those staying in the city. Visitors range from experienced makers to newcomers exploring fibre crafts for the first time. Tickets are available in advance.
