SUMMARY:Canberra Wool Expo
DESCRIPTION:Canberra’s Sunday best\, the Old Bus Depot Markets\, will spend two huge days showcasing all things wool at the upcoming two-day Canberra Wool Expo\, taking place Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 May 2025. \n“This is the chance for all visitors to Market to see the complete process from raw fibre\, to yarn and then to the many fabulous finished wool products at this two-day wool extravaganza\,” said Old Bus Depot Markets’ Manager\, Richard Vagi. \n“Locals and visitors to Canberra can come along to Market and enjoy demonstrations including hand-spinning\, weaving\, crochet and cross-stitch\, have a chat with the region’s most talented craftspeople and designers\, and get up close to alpacas\, llamas and sheep\,” Richard continued. \nCanberra Wool Expo has a long history at the Markets\, with this being the event’s 12th year. Having moved from a single day event to a two-day expo back in 2017\, the event pulls crowds from near and far who come for the pure love of wool and its many uses. In 2025\, the expo will have more wool stallholders than ever before – and from all around Australia too. Just a few of the wool producers attending include Black Wattle Yarn from Murrumbateman in New South Wales\, Fibre Naturally Woollen Mill from Macclesfield in Victoria\, and Kaalund Yarns from Banyo in Queensland. \n“Whether you like the comfort of rugging up all cozy and warm in woollen garments in the cooler weather\, find it relaxing to knit\, crochet or craft with wool\, or want to see some more traditional wool practices in action\, the Canberra Wool Expo will be a great weekend out\,” said Richard. \n“Many craftspeople from Canberra\, the surrounding region and interstate come to create\, demonstrate with\, and sell wool at the Canberra Wool Expo. And families love it because the kids can get up close to llamas\, Hephner the alpaca and Andy and Armani\, two Black Nose Valais sheep\,” Richard continued \nAt the Canberra Wool Expo visitors can try their hand at giant crochet with the Knitters Guild NSW (Capital Region Group).  Visitors can also browse and buy hand felted garments and accessories\, designer and farm label knitwear\, and woollen yarns including hand spun and hand dyed. \nCanberra Wool Expo will be held at the Old Bus Depot Markets in Kingston\, Canberra\, on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 May 2025. The Expo will be open from 9.30am – 2.30pm each day.  For more information\, visit www.obdm.com.au \n  \nWool stallholders attending Canberra Wool Expo 2025 (current at time of media release) \n\nBlack Wattle Yarn\, Murrumbateman NSW\nBellevue Park Wool\, Nimmo NSW\nThe Purl Box\, Strathdale VIC\nHandmade by Catkin\, Banks ACT\nFibre Art in Australia\, Hunters Hill NSW\nAdagio Mills\, Orange NSW\nMedowie Smocking\, Medowie NSW\nKaalund Yarns\, Banyo QLD\nSheep street\, Banks ACT\nCraft By Bella Store\, Bridgewater SA\nFibre Arts Shed\, Jilliby NSW\nDyed By Hand Yarns\, Buchan South VIC\nEleventyOne Windmills\, Adamstown Heights NSW\nThe Shepherd’s Choice\, Portland NSW\nThree Mums’ Yarn\, Holder ACT\nThe Australian Wool Store\, Sydney NSW\nHodgepodge Skeins\, Springwood NSW\nFibre Naturally Woollen Mill\, Macclesfield VIC
