Capital FibreFest event is a makers market that cares about making yarn, fibre, wool and craft related items. We aim to minimise barriers so as to make wool and fibre crafting and products as accessible and available to as wide a demographic of the community as possible.
Capital FibreFest is a community centric event that allows members of the community to come and socialise, learn new skills and chat with experienced crafters, catch up with friends, and purchase fibre, yarn and wool for any of their creative outputs. We try and ensure a wide range of wool ply, fibre type, dyeing techniques and product ranges is available for the attendees.
