Bringing together independent yarn dyers, producers of single origin wool, inspirational tutors and lecturers, and all fibre crafters for award nominated yarn centric events in perthshire, Scotland.

Welcome to the scottish yarn festival

Established in 2016, and award nominated many times over, we are Scotland’s largest and longest continuously running contemporary yarn and fibre festival.

Over many years we have welcomed the very best independent businesses from across the UK and EU to our thoughtfully curated Vendors’ Gallery Marketplace.  Our illustrious tutors and lecturers have included Amy Palko, Di Gilpin, and Jeanette Sloan BEM.   Each year we put together a fringe programme of social events which have included books signings, gala dinners and fashions shows, and Perthshire gin flights.  The level of detail, innovation and passion we craft into each offering is why we are not only an award nominated destination festival, but also the reasons why you join us from – on average – 20 different countries every year.

This is a challenging economic climate for the arts and all small businesses operating within it.  Instead of our usual Festival in 2026 we will be hosting a special, smaller, more focused and curated ‘Director’s Cut’ event in Perth .  Tickets will be released in the summer and we recommend signing up to our newsletter for more information as it becomes available.  If you are an international tour group operator please email hello@thescottishyarnfestival.com to book your tickets directly.  Our next Scottish Wool Producers Showcase will take place in March 2027.  This event will be held at the Civic Hall & Council Chambers, Perth.  

Vendor applications for our 2026 ‘Director’s Cut’ have closed and we are not looking to add to our cancellation list at this time.  Vendor opportunities at the Scottish Wool Producers Showcase are by invitation only.  

 

 

Our 5th annual Scottish Wool Producers Showcase event will return to the Civic Hall & Council Chambers, Perth, on 21 March 2026.

Founded in 2022 the Scottish Wool Producers Showcase seeks to shine a spotlight on yarns with a distinctly Scottish origin and their makers.  Featuring a boutique marketplace celebrating Scotland’s single farm yarns, shepherds, mills, and more, as well as inspiring presentations.
