Australian Fibre Calendar
A list of upcoming fibre events in Australia — anything to do with yarn, fibre, spinning, weaving, knitting, crochet and more.
Please note: This list is currently limited to events that focus predominantly on fibre crafts, and that bring together a number of different venders, producers, craftspeople, fibre artists or educators. While I’ll try to make the list as exhaustive as possible, it’s all but inevitable that something will be missed — I’m just one person, doing this in my spare time. So please don’t hesitate to reach out using the contact form below if you know of, or are running, an event that should be included! Always confirm the details of events yourself prior to attending. This list (and the links it provides) are only intended as starting point for planning your fibrey adventure.
