This year I am trying out something new, I am attending the Swiss Yarn Festival 2024 as an exhibitor!
The Swiss Yarn Festival is the largest fiber and handcraft* related event in Switzerland. It takes place once a year in spring in a small town outside of Zurich.
The event is quite versatile: there are workshops and classes, a fashion show and three large rooms, where 67 exhibitors are showcasing their products and work. The majority of the teachers and exhibitors attending are based in Switzerland, but there are also plenty that come from abroad. It is a very exciting opportunity to learn new skills and improve existing ones, meet new people and discover delicious new yarns.
Find more information about the festival on the official website.
I am attending as a designer and my booth will be featuring a variety of products:
- a selection of my knitting and crochet patterns
- yarn kits
- stitch markers, Portuguese knitting pins and other tools
- vintage shawl pins
- project bags
- ready-to-wear garments and accessories
I will also be showcasing samples of my design work. Visitors will have the chance to see my knitting and crochet samples up close. Two of my designs will also be featured in the Fashion Runway Show organised during the festival.
This is a great opportunity to meet me in person and chat. I am absolutely looking forward to the event and to seeing you there! 🙂
*it covers a variety of crafts: knitting, crochet, spinning, embroidery.
