From the shepherds who tend the flocks, to the spinners, weavers, and artisans who transform raw fleece into exquisite textiles, The Great British Fibre Festival celebrates the entire ecosystem of British fibre arts. It's a gathering of kindred spirits, a platform for sharing stories, and an exploration of the diverse techniques that bring wool to life. The Great British Fibre Festival is where tradition meets innovation, where the past is embraced as a source of inspiration, and where the future of British fibre creativity is passionately crafted.
