Wolle-Festival Delmenhorst

The Wolle-Festival is an annual consumer trade fair dedicated to wool, yarns and textile crafts. It has established itself as a leading meeting place for creative craftsmanship, premium-quality materials and personal exchange within the knitting and fibre arts community. The event is held each year at the com.media Event Centre in Delmenhorst and is organised by Lorenz GmbH. With many years of experience in organising trade fairs and festivals, the company has successfully established the Wolle-Festival as a registered brand.

The exhibition focuses on premium natural fibres and high-quality yarns, including merino, alpaca, mohair, cashmere, cotton and silk, alongside sustainable and hand-dyed yarns. The product range is complemented by an extensive selection of accessories for both traditional and contemporary textile crafts, including knitting and crochet needles, circular knitting accessories, stitch markers, yarn winders, swifts, scissors, buttons, and a wide variety of other tools and notions. Exhibitors also showcase patterns, sewing templates, handcrafted one-off pieces, designer creations and finely crafted textile products. Traditional fibre crafts such as felting, spinning, weaving and knotting also form an integral part of the exhibition programme, highlighting the diversity of textile craftsmanship.

One of the festival's defining features is its combination of shopping, knowledge sharing and hands-on experiences. Visitors can watch experienced textile artists demonstrate their techniques, discover new skills and take part in practical workshops where traditional and contemporary craft techniques are taught by experts. As a result, the festival provides an inspiring platform for creative exchange, bringing together the latest trends, innovative materials and traditional textile craftsmanship in one place.

Exhibitors primarily represent the yarn manufacturing, textile design, artisan crafts, haberdashery and wool retail sectors, alongside independent workshops and designer labels. Many travel from across Germany and other European countries to present exclusive collections and handcrafted pieces that are rarely available through conventional retail channels. The event attracts passionate knitters and crocheters, textile artists, designers, wool shop owners, creative professionals and hobby crafters seeking premium materials, expert advice and fresh inspiration for their projects.

The Wolle-Festival is of considerable importance to Delmenhorst and the wider Bremen–Oldenburg metropolitan region. It attracts visitors from across Germany, reinforcing the city's reputation as an attractive venue for specialist creative trade fairs and textile events. At the same time, it reflects the growing demand for sustainable consumption, traditional craftsmanship and individually made products. The Wolle-Festival is also part of Lorenz GmbH's nationwide portfolio of events and takes place annually at several locations throughout Germany, providing both exhibitors and visitors with access to a broad national network.

The com.media Event Centre in Delmenhorst provides an ideal setting for the festival as a modern, fully accessible venue. Its spacious exhibition halls allow exhibitors to present their products clearly and professionally while providing ample room for workshops, live demonstrations and special feature areas. Conveniently located with excellent access to the A1 and A28 motorways and close to Delmenhorst railway station, the venue is easily accessible by both car and public transport. Ample on-site parking further enhances convenience for visitors travelling from Delmenhorst, Bremen, Oldenburg and the wider north-western region of Germany.
