Wolle-Festival Würzburg

The Wolle-Festival is an annual public exhibition dedicated to high-quality yarns, textile crafts and creative handicrafts. Held at the VCC Vogel Convention Center in Würzburg, the event is aimed at dedicated craft enthusiasts, professional designers, textile artists, small-scale manufacturers and anyone with an interest in premium textiles and traditional craftsmanship.

Organised by Lorenz GmbH, the Wolle-Festival provides a platform for high-quality materials, creative ideas and personal exchange within the textile crafts community. The focus is on fine natural fibres and premium yarns, including pure new wool, merino wool, alpaca, mohair, cashmere, cotton and silk, as well as sustainable and hand-dyed yarns. The range is complemented by knitting and crochet supplies, knitting needles and crochet hooks, stitch markers, yarn winders, swifts, scissors, buttons and numerous other tools for discerning crafters.

The exhibition also showcases a wide variety of traditional and contemporary textile craft techniques. Visitors can gain insights into knitting, crochet, felting, spinning, weaving and knotting. They can also discover unique handmade pieces, exclusive designer creations and individual textile products from small-scale producers and craftspeople. Numerous exhibitors share their expertise, showcase innovative materials and introduce new techniques and current trends from the international textile crafts scene.

One of the highlights of the Wolle-Festival is its programme of live demonstrations and hands-on workshops, where visitors can try out different techniques themselves and learn from experienced designers and specialist exhibitors. Personal interaction, a creative atmosphere and the opportunity to gain inspiration and expert knowledge first-hand make the event a popular meeting place for the German-speaking textile crafts community.

Exhibitors primarily represent the fields of yarn production, wool retail, textile design, arts and crafts and accessories manufacturing, as well as small-scale manufacturers and specialist craft businesses. Key visitor groups include knitting and crochet enthusiasts, felters, weavers, spinners, textile artists, designers, course instructors, specialist retailers and anyone looking for high-quality materials and creative inspiration for their own projects.
