River Yarn Fibre Festival – 5 & 6 April 2025, Carcoar NSW

“The picture-perfect village of Carcoar is nestled in a small sheltered valley beside the meandering Belubula River. A true historic gem, it is the third oldest settlement west of the Blue Mountains.

We are inviting you to join us at the third annual Fibre Festival - a weekend of inspiring workshops and market stalls for knitting and yarn enthusiasts.”
