Wolle-Festival Rosenheim

The Wolle-Festival Rosenheim is a public exhibition and creative meeting place for anyone with an interest in wool, yarn, knitting, crochet and textile crafts. The event combines shopping opportunities with inspiration, professional exchange and hands-on learning. It is aimed at hobby crafters, dedicated creatives, textile artists, designers and enthusiasts of high-quality handmade products. The organisers see the festival as a meeting place for textile artists, craft enthusiasts and influencers.

Held annually in Rosenheim, the Wolle-Festival takes place at the Auerbräu Festhalle. The spacious and versatile venue provides an ideal setting for showcasing wool, yarn, craft supplies and creative products. Its event spaces offer excellent facilities for exhibitors, workshops, demonstrations and personal interaction between visitors and makers.

The festival is organised by Lorenz GmbH of Dessau-Roßlau through its arts and event management division. According to the company, it draws on many years of experience in organising festivals and events, now spanning three generations. The concept focuses on variety, a welcoming atmosphere, personal interaction and workshops, as well as a carefully balanced selection of participating vendors.

The exhibition focuses on wool and premium-quality yarns, knitting, crochet and a variety of creative textile and handicraft techniques. Products on offer include pure new wool as well as merino, alpaca, mohair and cashmere yarns. Cotton, silk and blended yarns are also available, alongside hand-dyed varieties. The range also includes knitting needles, crochet hooks, circular knitting needles, yarn winders, swifts, scissors, counting frames, patterns and other craft accessories. Handmade items, one-off pieces and creative designer products further complement the selection. The festival therefore offers an alternative to industrially mass-produced goods, giving visitors the opportunity to discover high-quality materials, limited-edition products and unique pieces first-hand.

Workshops, demonstrations and personal encounters with exhibitors are a particular highlight of the festival. Visitors can watch makers at work, learn about different techniques and see how textile products are created, with opportunities to take part in selected workshops themselves. The festival also provides a chance to exchange ideas with designers, manufacturers and fellow craft enthusiasts, making it easy to discover new patterns, materials, techniques and creative inspiration.

Exhibitors primarily represent the yarn and wool trade, textile design, arts and crafts, craft supplies, independent creative producers, and knitting and crochet supplies. According to the organiser, selected exhibitors and designers from across Europe take part, presenting and selling a wide range of creative products, ideas and unique pieces. The main visitor groups include private craft and DIY enthusiasts, knitters and crocheters, as well as textile artists, designers, creatives and influencers looking to discover new materials, products and techniques and gather fresh inspiration.

The Wolle-Festival Rosenheim forms part of a nationwide series of events. Lorenz GmbH organises Wolle-Festivals at various locations, regularly bringing the textile and creative community to different regions of Germany. The Auerbräu Festhalle venue also provides Rosenheim with a meeting place for a craft community whose connections extend well beyond the local area.

Combining premium-quality yarns, specialist accessories, handmade one-off pieces, workshops and personal interaction, the Wolle-Festival Rosenheim offers a varied insight into the world of contemporary crafts. The Auerbräu Festhalle provides a suitable setting with ample space for exhibitors, creative activities and personal encounters. By bringing together shopping, inspiration and hands-on exchange, the festival serves as a meeting place for everyone interested in high-quality yarns, textile design and creative craftsmanship.
