The picturesque town of Carcoar will host the River Yarn Fibre Festival on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th April 2025. The much anticipated festival will offer an array of inspiring workshops and vibrant market stalls, catering to knitting and yarn enthusiasts from near and far.
The River Yarn volunteers will have a marquee located next to the School of Arts Hall, where attendees can purchase raffle tickets for $10 each. Prizes include a $300 Spotlight voucher, offering a fantastic opportunity to support the community while enjoying the festivities.
Limited spaces remain for a selection of hands-on workshops, designed for participants of all skill levels. Those interested in expanding their craft are encouraged to visit the official website to secure their spot before spaces fill up.
River Yarn founder Jan Steele, a local of Carcoar, has been instrumental in organising this popular event. She expressed, “Carcoar offers the perfect setting for the festival, with its historic charm and welcoming community. We are delighted to invite attendees to experience a weekend of learning, creativity, and connection.”
The festival’s activities, workshops, and market stalls will be centrally located on Icely Street, allowing visitors to easily explore the town while enjoying the diverse offerings of the event. And when you’re ready for a bite, there will be options available in the School of Arts, a sausage sizzle with Blayney CanAssist as well as offerings from Chef David at the Royal Hotel.

This highly anticipated event promises to be a highlight for the Carcoar community and visitors alike, celebrating the art of fibre and fostering creativity.
