Hey there, you're on best DJ from Hobby here and you're
listening to Skiing and Sell, the podcast that unravels it
all, everything from cozy chaos to crafty world tours.
Now let me ask you something, OK?
Have you ever dreamt of walking into a castle filled with yarn?
Or maybe wandering through a sheep show while eating an apple
cider doughnut and wearing your latest handmade cardi.
Or maybe shopping hand dyed alpaca yarn under the Southern
American sun while buckle up Bessie, grab your project bag
because today we are going global.
This episode is your passport to the best yarn festivals and
fiber events around the world, broken down by continent.
Because you know, let's just make things easy to follow, OK?
Whether you're plotting your next fiber filled get getaway or
you're just maybe looking to add A Little Dream destination to
your stash list, this one is definitely for you.
So throw skiing in your carry on and let's go yarn shopping
around the world. Europe, where yarn meets fairy
tale vibes, the land of historic wool traditions, rolling green
hills and fiber markets that look like they were styled by
cottage core goddesses. Now our first stop in our yarn
festival adventure is actually in Scotland the most
specifically at the Edinburgh Yarn Festival.
OK, so this is possibly actually the most famous or was the most
famous. Oh, I gave it away already.
OK, it was the most famous European yarn festival.
It's legendary, it is set in Scotland's capital, and it
brought together indie dyers, heritage wool producers, and,
you know, sweater weather dreams.
Basically, it launched in 2013 by passionate knitters Joe and
Mika, and it quickly established itself as the cornerstone event
for yarn enthusiasts actually worldwide.
Now, the festival typically spanned 5 days, featuring a
bustling market with nearly 100 vendors.
It offered a diverse array of yarns, tools, and accessories.
But beyond shopping, it was renowned for its comprehensive
workshop programs, You know, catering to all skill levels and
tons of lovely social events, including traditional Scottish
Nick nights. So despite its popularity,
unfortunately, it actually ended in 2019, leaving quite a
significant void in the UK's fiber festival scenes.
But but, but the spirit of the Edinburgh Yarn Festival is not
gone. It's not forgotten this year.
In 2025, a new event called the Woolly Good Gathering launched
in Edinburgh, picking up the torch and giving the fiber
community a new space to connect, to shop and to
celebrate in the same city. I mean, it's not a direct
replacement, but it's definitely carrying on the vibe.
But we have to hurry because we will miss our next flight.
Next up we have Woolen in Dublin, Ireland now.
Wholesome chaos in the best way possible.
Woolen is a smaller but very beloved little festival.
Local Irish yarn, yes. Friends you haven't maybe met
but somehow you love them Immediately, Definitely double
yes. It launched in May of 2018 and
it quickly established itself as a must visit event for fiber
enthusiasts. It was held at the ALSA Center
near Dublin Airport, and the inaugural festival featured
actually 56 vendor stands offering, you know, a diverse
array of yarns, tools of accessories.
And attendees also enjoyed a bustling, you know, engaging
workshop thing happening social spaces to connect with fellow
crafters. And while the festival faced
challenges due to, you know, global events, Woola's impact on
the fiber community remains significant to this day.
Not only showcase Ireland's rich textile heritage, but also
foster that community feeling among crafters.
All right, let's grab a plane again and head out to France.
So the next festival feels more like a postcard.
OK. It's set in a ridiculously
charming French village. It is a blend of spinners of
weavers and natural dyers. And you'll leave definitely with
beautiful yarn and probably a croissant in your bag at the end
of the day. All right, I see.
So picture this. OK, it's early February, you're
in a charming little French town nestled in the hills of the tomb
region, and the entire place smells faintly of wool and
roasted chestnuts. Oh, welcome to Fete de la Len,
AKA the Festival of Wool and Crest.
And yes, it's every bit as dreamy as it sounds.
Now. This festival's been going on
strong since 1992, and it's not just a cute weekend fair.
It's a full blown fiber celebration that pulls in
artisans and yard lovers from all over France and beyond.
It runs for three cozy days, usually in the early days of
February. And trust me, this is this is
like a place where you just would say, look at that yarn,
look at that yarn, look at that yarn.
You know, it's like a deep dive wool culture.
So you got over 60 artisans. We're talking spinners, weavers,
felters, dyers, Andy yarn producers bringing their most
gorgeous natural fibers to the table.
We're talking about materials that go way beyond sheep.
You know, we're talking about also mohair, angora, hemp, silk,
flax and others demonstrations where you can literally watch
someone card wool, spin it, dye it, maybe, then knit it into
something that makes you, I don't know, throw out your
entire wardrobe and start over again.
Plus hands on workshops where you can try everything yourself,
even if all you've ever made is like a scarf, you know, with a
panic hole in it. It's all set in Espas Suberian.
I think I said that right? Which turns into a magical
little wool market full of texture of color and definitely
some serious handmade energy. I think that the best part is
definitely the fact that it is free to attend.
No tickets, no gatekeeping, just open doors and a warm welcome.
Now the vibe is super down to earth.
Lots of makers, lots of families, beginners, seasoned
crafters, kids running around with felted cheap.
Also very focused on sustainability and tradition,
showcasing the full, you know, sheep to scheme story basically
and celebrating that slow, thoughtful textile creation.
It's not it's not the biggest festival in the world, but it
has something that you know, it has that blend of culture and
crafting community that makes you want to stay longer than
three days and maybe have felt a behead.
And that also explains why it's been going strong since 1992.
So if you're planning maybe like a winter fiber pilgrimage, Crest
is absolutely the place to go. It's wholesome, it's
heartwarming. And you will definitely leave
probably with some new yarn, some new friends and, yeah,
definitely some schemes that smell a bit of, I don't know,
lavender, you know, destiny. All right.
And our last stop in our Europe Yarn Festival list is, of
course, Barcelona Nets. All right, bestie, if your dream
fiber festival involves sunshine, tapas, you know, more
Indian and Mediterranean breeze blowing through your project
bag, the Barcelona Nets is calling your name.
Hello, Hello, bestie, it's me. Barcelona Nets so held every
November in the stunning seaside World Trade Center of Porto Vey,
which translates to Old Harbor. This festival in Spain is
probably the first and biggest knitting event in Spain.
It feels kind of like the Coachella of yarn, but you know,
with more sensible clothing. And it was launched by two
passionate local knitters who just wanted a space to celebrate
all things fiber. And of course, it exploded into
this amazing international hub of connection and creativity.
So let me set the scene, OK? You walk into this gorgeous
venue overlooking the water and it is packed with color dyers
from all over Europe, Spanish wool producers with yarn so soft
it makes you, you know, question your stash.
It has buttons, it has bags, it has stitch markers, it has
handmade tools. I don't know it, it, it's
basically like Etsy coming to life.
It's like, it's, it's insane, right?
And then you've got this huge marketplace filled with the
nicest indie brands as well as workshops taught by world class
designers and tons of social events like the Tapas in Yarn
Party, which honestly is exactly as magical as it sounds.
Who wouldn't want to enjoy some tapas, you know, and knit?
And don't get me started on the knitwear fashion show.
Everybody is wearing their most extra, you know, clothing fits.
It's like, it's insane. The festival usually runs over a
2 day weekend, Saturday and Sunday.
And trust me, it it goes really too fast.
You will shop, you will stitch, you will cry, laugh in your
knitting circle with somebody from the other side of the world
who just kind of gets you. And you also get to do it in
Barcelona. I mean, you know, take a yarn
break to visit Gaudi's Sagrada Familia, eat some churros with
chocolate or just sit in a sun warmed bench and work on your
whip while locals walk by and compliment your beautiful stitch
tension. Hashtag dream life.
Now if you're looking for a festival that feels like a
Fiesta, then Barcelona Nets should be on your must stitch
list. We interrupt this episode for a
special segment that explores the history of yawn, the
archaeology of yawn. Brought to you by our special
correspondent. By my boots turning like my my
accent is going like off the rails today.
Yeah. Brought to you by our special
correspondent, Yandiene June. OK busty, Today we are diving
into the shiny, the sparkly and the seriously extra beads,
buttons and balling. You thought your beaded shawl or
fancy notions jar was just for flair?
Well, think again because these little fiber embellishments have
been out there carrying big meaning like, you know, trade
route, alternating status, symbol making and spirit
protecting levels of meaning. So let's start with it all began
in ancient Egypt. Now picture this golden sand
dunes denial flowing and someone 5000 years ago says this linen
tunic is fine but what if we made it fabulous and enter.
Oh my God this is so ridiculous. Entered the Pheon's beads.
Glassy turquoise hued and made from sand based paste.
Egyptians loved them. These weren't just pretty, they
were a symbol of rebirth, of protection and power.
Pharaohs wore them, mummies were wrapped in them.
Beads were basically your spiritual insurance policy for
the afterlife. Now hop on to West Africa, for
instance, where the Maasai people have been creating
jaw-dropping beadwork for century.
Every color and every pattern, all codes, all secret meanings.
Red was I remember for from what I read from for bravery.
White was for purity, and blue was for, like, energy, you know,
from the sky. These aren't just accessories,
they're biographies, if you want to call them that you actually
wear. So Masai beadwork tells you your
age, your marital status, your clan, your social standing.
It's like wearing your resume, your CD, your mood ring, and all
your family tree all at once on you.
It looks absolutely amazing. Please check it out.
The Maasai beadwork. It's, it's crazy.
All right, let's keep going. Fast forward to indigenous North
America, where wampum belts made from quahog and shell beads were
used as currency. They were used as contracts, as
historical records. Now these beads held so much
weight they were literally diplomatic tools.
Forget fine print, these were like stitch treaties, you know.
And oh get this, glass beads from Venice traveled all over
the world during the height of European trade.
Now these tiny little baubles were so valuable that they were
used in exchange for land, for goods, and sometimes even
people. Oh boy, the dark history and the
real consequences all wrapped up in something that just sparkles.
Insane. But what about buttons?
You know, you might think buttons are just oh, they're
functional, but, but, but, you know, they're just, they're
cute. They're we used them, but in the
Middle Ages they were status bling.
You know, imagine that status bling.
Fancy brass or ivory buttons on your duplet.
Hello, aristocracy. Buttons were so prized.
They were the laws about how many you could weigh or
depending on your class. No buttons for you, peasant.
No, thank you. And now let's talk about
sequence. OK, sequence.
Today they scream disco and drag shows, as they should, you know,
But they actually go way back, like ancient Egypt, way back,
you know, archaeologists like myself found gold discs sewn
unto garments in tombs, which actually were meant to symbolize
that the person who was buried there had a lot of wealth and
got divine protection. So the OG Sparkle was some
serious business back in the days.
All right. Now Fast forward to the 20th
century, and suddenly we got plastic sequence metallic
embroidery. You know, rhinestones turning up
everywhere from Hollywood glamour to runaway couture.
And they're not just for show, OK?
They're often used to honor heritage, to reclaim identity,
or to even make a statement. Because whether it's a beaded
necklace in a Zulu ceremony, or a jeweled sari in South Asia, or
just a punk vest covered in enamel pins, it shows that it's,
it's the story your clothes tell about you before you even open
your mouth. Basically, it's it's, it's
embellishing identity, right? So next time you're stitching a
little button or threading A bead or bedazzling your project
with some spark or do, remember that that shiny little thing
you're using? It has more than 5000 years of
drama, symbolism, and, you know, pride behind it.
And that best team is the story of fiber bling.
You already know the vibes. Booths packed with skeins, iced
coffee in one hand, whip bag in the other, and somebody
shouting, is that a malabrigo across the aisle?
OK, let's talk about the Beyoncé of North America's Yarn
Festival. That's true.
It's Rhinebeck, officially known as the New York Sheep and Wool
Festival. But truly, if you just say
Rhinebeck to any American knitter or crocheter they know,
held every October in the Hudson Valley, this festival is the
fall pilgrimage for fiber folks. Basically, it's it's part
country fair, part sheep shell, part indie yarn marketplace,
part handmade fashion runway, and it all happens under a
golden canopy of crisp autumn leaves.
The vibes are Immaculate. People start planning their
Rhinebeck sweater muds sometimes a whole year in advance.
There's contests, there's group photos to price meetups, and
even spontaneous compliments from strangers.
Like, did you make that? Of course I made it.
We're at the Rhinebeck Festival, and yes, apple cider doughnuts
are the unofficial currency. People literally queue for them
longer than for yarn boots. Are they worth it?
I heard they were. Now they've got tents and barns
full of yarn vendors, both big names and Indy dyers.
They have live sheep competitions where you can watch
breeds you didn't know existed, prints around being their
fluffiest, best selves, and they obviously have also spinning
demos, felting workshops, rug cooking tutorials and and tons
of other little events. And I mean, you know, it's all
surrounded by a crowd of thousands who who get it right.
It's cozy, cozy chaos. It's sweater weather magic.
It's one of the few places on earth where it feels totally
normal to wear a full blown outfit made of yarn just head to
toe. If Rhinebeck isn't on your
bucket list yet, go ahead and you know, put it on now.
This is this is a must. This is a must.
All right, but if if by some reason you can't get to
Rhinebeck, you know, then there's some options out there
that can replace it. There is also the stitch events
in various U.S. cities. They're a little bit more clean,
more classy, more, you know, air conditioned.
These events are great for newer fiber artists that are looking
to level up, or makers who love a workshop heavy schedule, or
just folk who want some variety like, you know, a bit of
everything. Crocheting, knitting, weaving,
Tunisian crocheting and beyond, all under the same roof.
It features a massive vendor hall packed with everything from
luxury yarn and project bags to looms and books and buttons and
tons of tools you didn't really know existed until now.
And a full a cart. A menu of workshop and classes
led by well known designers and teachers in the fiber world,
plus an on site yarn winding station.
Bless social lounges and some truly excellent people watching.
It's especially great if you want to dive deep into
techniques or spend your weekend surrounded by fiber loving
strangers who become your besties.
And yes, you can wear your most extra shawl without fear of
judgement. And did I also mention I think I
did air conditioning? Yes, yes, please.
All right, but staying still in in North America, let's talk a
little bit about Canada. Ah, knit city.
Now Canada looked at the yarn world and said, well, we got to
do this also, you know, but it has to be inclusive and it has
to be stylish and it has to be super cozy, you know.
So they launched this awesome, awesome festival called Knit
City and NIT City, launched by the amazing folks at NIT Social,
and it also expanded from Vancouver to Montreal and it's
become one of the most beloved yarn festivals in North America.
The reason why this is actually quite special is because it has
that community vibe. You know, it has that welcoming
feeling. It has tons of building spaces
that are super inclusive and diverse and accessible and
obviously a beautiful marketplace that is curated with
a mix of Canadian indie dyers, natural fibers, ethical mark
makers, markers, ethical markers, and also some some nice
stylish designs as well that you can you can see now the workshop
is definitely a little bit next level.
They're taught by some of the biggest names in the fiber
world, but it is quite down to earth.
It's quite approachable. It's full of kindness, very,
very chill, very Canadian. And oh, the food.
I have read online that the food there is amazing.
And did they have Maple latte? Oh, sign me up now.
You know, it's I love it. OK, the vibe is definitely super
modern maker meets in the art show and you will definitely
leave feeling inspired, feeling seen and probably a little bit
poor, but in a good way, you know, all right, moving on down,
down, down the globe. We're going to go travel to
Australia and Oceania where the yarn is just as wild as the
landscape. Now, if you haven't lived until
you bought yarn while being stared down by prize winning
sheep, then it's time to go to either the Bandingo Sheep and
Wool Show in Australia or the New Zealand Wool Fest.
Now the Bandingo Sheep and Wool Show is the biggest wall
celebration in the Southern hemisphere.
It's rustic, it's rugged, it's full of actual sheep.
Think country, fair meat, serious yarn knowledge, plus
beautiful, beautiful fleece auctions.
And you know, you might even leave with a whole sheep.
No judgment otherwise. If you're in New Zealand, the
Wool Fest is awesome. It's a chill community centered
event with amazing regional wool and natural fibers and you'll
find hand spinners and dyers and a lot of people could just
casually shear sheep bread. Also add jaw-dropping scenery
because come on, it's New Zealand so that must be
incredible. Then we have South America.
Earthy, vibrant, and alpaca powered.
The fiber in South America has deep roots, literally.
We've heard about it many, many times.
It's home to some of the most sustainable and ancient and
beautiful yarn traditions on earth.
And I have two, I have them on my list.
I have one in Chile and one in Argentina.
The one in Chile, the Feria de Las Manolidades, is a massive
craft fair with a strong fiber presence.
And I mean, you know, think vibrant alpaca yarns, think
artisan tools and tons of traditional dyeing techniques
right alongside contemporary designs.
It's incredible. And if you're happening to be in
Argentina, then do go to the Festival del ILO Ilana, the
festival of the Thread and bulb. This one's a little smaller.
It's more local, but I think from what I've read, full of
heart. I mean, you know, picture grassy
markets and homemade empanadas and yarn dyed in earthy tones,
you know, from all the native plants.
And if you love slow fashion and natural fibers and you are in
Argentina, this is such a stop to put on your list.
And I mean, we're kind of closing in.
We just have Asia and Africa to to check out.
So where is your passport? Let's go now.
Asia's yarn scene is kind of like a rich tapestry, you know,
it's woven from centuries of textile tradition and stitched
up with cutting edge design and innovation and some super
adorable craft supplies. Whether it's, you know, a
minimalistic Japanese design or more bold Korean aesthetics or
maybe even India's lush heritage of natural fiber arts, this is a
part of the world that deserves a fiber experience like no
other. So let's hop on a board and
let's go to Japan. All right, so we're in Tokyo.
OK Konichiwa. We are in Japan.
Yarn Festival. If there is a word for perfectly
balanced between calm and chaos and very chic, the Yarn Japan
Festival or the Japan Yarn Festival, sorry, would be it.
Now this festival is held in Tokyo.
This place is in Tokyo. Yes, it is.
Turns out it is. So this festival is held in
Tokyo, and it's a love letter to Japan's unique blend of
precision and design and crafting soul.
Now, these yarns are often naturally dyed incredibly fine,
and they come in tons of cute, minimalistic packaging.
And I just, oh, I'm, I'm already like, drooling, sliding.
Don't let the Zen aesthetic fool you, though.
This festival is packed with a lot of creative energy, with
workshops that dive deep into Japanese techniques like sashiko
and amigurumi and lace knitting and traditional weaving.
There's also local and international vendors offering
tools, stationary and accessories.
Who doesn't like herself a little stationary?
Well, I think that isn't that kind of like tied together
because I feel like everybody who is a little bit into
knitting or crocheting also has a thing for stationary or a
thing for storage, you know, like boxes or a thing for
packaging, like a gift packaging, you know, gift
wrapping and stuff like that. I have all of them.
I'm, I'm just, I'm, I'm full on chaos in here.
And Speaking of chaos, there is so much kawaii chaos.
You'll, you know, spot little amigurumis everywhere, cat
shaped yarn balls, stitch markers that look like sushi.
The whole thing is very, very intentional.
It's very beautifully curated and it's very Tokyo.
If you love fine fiber work, cultural craftsmanship, the
clean aesthetic would burst of creative sparkle, then add this
to your list because Japan Ichiban baby.
It's so worth it. And I have on my, on my list all
of these festivals, but I feel like this one really speaks to
me. And I'm excited for maybe, maybe
when Albert grows a little older, you know, when he's
starting school or maybe when he's about 10:00.
I definitely want to take a trip with him in Japan.
And I will make sure, I will definitely make sure that I will
plan this trip when the Japan Yarn Festival happens.
That's for sure. All right, moving up to Seoul in
South Korea now. Seoul Handmade Fair.
Buckle up, because this craft scene is electric.
The Seoul Handmade Fair is part fiber show, part lifestyle
explosion. It takes place in this big venue
like I think, I think it's called the Dong Daeun Dong Dae
Moon. Dong Dae Moon.
Yeah. Moon Dang Dei Moon Design Plaza,
which from what I could see pictures of it looks like a
spaceship and the vibe is very much that it's modern, it's
maximalism. You know, it's Instagram ready.
It's kind of like a little bit the opposite of Japan, but you
will find everything from yarn to tools to beautiful workshops
that blend fiber with digital designs and, and even techie
crafts like LED embroidery and yeah, tons of handmade stuff
too, like candles and ceramics and jewelry and felted stuff,
you name it, you know, And also the yarn booths, they're mixed
with fashion pop ups. So, so I feel like Koreas fibre
culture blends traditional would trend quite, quite well.
And this event really shows off that spectrum quite perfectly.
You might meet a 75 year old handbook Weaver next to a 22
year old Indy Dyer making neon sock yarn and marketing it with
K Pop gifts. And yes, you will walk out with
a tote bag full of things you didn't plan on buying because
there's some crazy stuff happening there.
It's it's insane. That's the that's the sole
handmade fare promise and last on our Asian Yarn Festival tour.
We are headed to Mumbai, where yarn means color, history and
craftsmanship. So good it's been passed down
through generations. Yes, I'm talking about the India
Yarn Bazaar in Mumbai, India, and it's still growing.
It's more the grassroots than the glam, but it has the kind of
soul that stops you in your tracks.
It's a crazy marketplace, a treasure trove of naturally dyed
silks and cottons, of hand spun yarn bait by women's collectives
and artisans from rural regions and also Kadi Fibers, which is a
hand woven cloth that actually was part of India's independence
movement. And what makes this festival
special isn't just the yarn, though.
Yes, obviously it's stunning, but it's the blend of legacy and
innovation. So you'll meet artisans who've
been spinning and weaving for decades, sharing space with, you
know, up and coming Indian designers, pushing the
boundaries of modern IT and crochet designs.
And let's not forget the colors. We're talking about deep
turmeric yellows, indigo Blues, pomegranate Reds, and you'll
feel like you just walked into a spice market that turned into a
yarn shop basically. And also, let's talk about the
workshops. I mean, the workshops are so, so
incredible. We're talking about block
printing. We're talking about natural
dyeing, embroidery, sorry, silk recycling.
And yes, you will definitely leave with something totally
unique. I feel like India's fiber
festival, especially the India Yarn Bazaar, maybe a little
small now, but I think it has a massive, massive potential.
So if you're in Mumbai, just make sure you plan around so
that you go visit the India Yarn Bazaar because I think, wow,
incredible. And from Asia, we're going to
hop on a boat and go straight to Africa.
So still growing, still evolving, and absolutely busting
with potential. Africa's fiber scene is having a
moment, and we are so here for it.
From ancestral craft traditions to bold new indie brands, these
festivals reflect a continent rich in skill, rich in story,
and definitely rich in creativity.
So let's meet the two emerging stars on our little fiber map.
OK, so this one is a vibe. The Yarn Indie Market South
Africa is a celebration of independent dyers, makers and
fiber artists all doing their thing in their own way, and it
shows. The Yarn Indie Market was born
out of a desire to amplify Africa's fiber voices and give a
spotlight to homegrown talent. And the result is a gorgeous mix
of mohair, wool, cotton, plant based blend source locally
stunning hand dyed yarns in Palace that reflect the South
African landscape. You know, think earthy Reds and
coastal Blues and rich greens. And a growing network of slow
fashion champions focused on sustainability and intentional
making. There's also big focus on
natural dyeing and hand spun yarn and small batch processes.
So when you buy from this market, you're not just getting,
you know, fiber, you're getting somebody's passion and heritage
spun into a skein. The best part is not just a
place to shop, it's once again a community building event, you
know, so makers swap stories and share techniques and super local
artisans. And they also help bring
visibility to a fiber culture that's often a little bit
overlooked globally. So beautiful, bold, and I'm just
getting started and we love it. The second cool emerging yarn
festival happening in Africa right now is in Kenya.
So let's head up to East Africa in Kenya, where the Nairobi Yarn
Festival is planting roots and growing fast.
Still a relatively new player in the global yarn scene, this
festival is full of energy, full of ambition and grassroots
magic. It's it's a gathering of
traditional craft practitioners like, you know, Weaver spinners,
dyers who bring centuries of knowledge to this table.
And it's a contemporary designers blend with workshops
and talks and modern aesthetics, sustainable sourcing,
storytelling through stitch. It's a beautiful example of what
happens when local traditions meet a new wave of creatives who
are hungry to to craft and share and make space for African fiber
arts in the world stage. And honestly, it is incredibly
exciting to to read about. And it's not just a craft fair
in this case, it's more like a movement.
It's, it's like a promise, a space where community and
cultures are being spun into something very, very powerful.
These events may be emerging, but they are, I think,
essential. They remind us that fiber arts
are not just a trend. They're ancestral, they're
resourceful, and they are a means to pass down stories
through through what we make. So whether it's a South African
mohair magic or Nairobi's rising maker scene, one thing's clear.
The yarn coming out of Africa, it is strong and soulful, and
it's only just beginning to shine on the global stage.
So busty. What did we learn?
The world is stuffed with yarn festivals.
They're cozy and they're chaotic and inspiring and beautifully
human. And they remind us that whether
you're, you know, on a Scottish hillside or in a Tokyo
exhibition hall or maybe at your neighbor's market, fiber really,
really connects us. And you don't need a passport to
feel part of this global community.
You just need a hook and a skein and a heart that says, let's
just make something. But if you do have a passport
and you are planning maybe a trip maybe to some of those
locations, please give me a call.
I want to join. Yeah.
If you've been into any of these festivals or you would want to
go, please share it or message me or tag us with #skeen and
Sell or Hashtag Hobby Podcast so we can explore and see more of
this global yarn map that's growing.
All right, until next time, keep your bags packed, but only with
hooks and needles because the yarn will buy at the next fiber
art festivals together, I hope. All right, Besty, love you, talk
to you soon. Bye.
