The Woolly Good Gathering

Edinburgh is the city of festivals, but since 2019 it’s been missing an important one: a yarn festival! Which is why, in 2024, The Woolly Good Gathering was created in Scotland’s capital to celebrate knitters, crocheters, weavers, spinners and fibre lovers with a festival of crafts, workshops, talks, food, music and good company.  

The team is dedicated to building an event with a large community and cooperative focus that will be a welcoming and safe space for everyone.

The Marketplace is spread out over multiple rooms, with plenty of space for visitors to mingle, chat to vendors and squish yarn and fibre. There will be plenty of seating and quiet places of retreat too. Shop indie dyers, yarn producers, craft suppliers and other fibre businesses, all under one roof.

The vendor list has now been announced: view here

There will be a programme of workshops led by expert tutors and a wonderful line-up of talks.
