Wolle-Festival Offenburg

The Wolle-Festival is an annual consumer fair dedicated to premium yarns, textile crafts and creative handicrafts. Held at Messe Offenburg-Ortenau in Offenburg, the event is aimed at dedicated craft enthusiasts, professional designers, textile artists, small-scale manufacturers and anyone with a passion for high-quality textiles and traditional craftsmanship.

Organised by Lorenz GmbH, the Wolle-Festival provides a platform for premium 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 a wide variety of other tools for advanced craft projects.

The fair also showcases a broad spectrum of traditional and contemporary textile craft techniques. Visitors can explore knitting, crochet, felting, spinning, weaving and knotting, as well as discover unique handmade pieces, exclusive designer creations and individual textile products from small producers and craftspeople. Numerous exhibitors share their expertise, present innovative materials and introduce new techniques and current trends from the textile crafts scene.

A particular highlight 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. The opportunity for personal interaction, the creative atmosphere and access to inspiration and expert knowledge first-hand make the event a popular meeting place for textile and craft enthusiasts.

Exhibitors primarily represent the fields of yarn production, wool retail, textile design, arts and crafts, accessory manufacturing, small-scale production 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 premium materials and creative inspiration for their own projects.
