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

Welcome to the scottish yarn festival

Established in 2016, The Scottish Yarn Festival has previously been known as Perth Festival of Yarn. 

We are Scotland’s largest and longest continuously running contemporary yarn and fibre festival.

Over the last 8 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.

Our last Festival took place at Errol Showground, Perthshire, on 7 September 2024, with presentations also held at The Royal George Hotel, Perth, the following day.  Details for the 10th Scottish Yarn Festival in 2025 will be released soon.  Our next event is the Scottish Wool Producers Showcase on 22 March 2025.  This event will be held in Perth.

Vendor applications for our 2025 Festival will open in January.  You can contact us at vendors@thescottishyarnfestival.com with your business name to register your interest.  Vendor opportunities at the Scottish Wool Producers Showcase are by invitation only.

 

 

Our Scottish Wool Producers Showcase event will return to a new location – in Perth – on 22 March 2025.

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.
