A textile heritage is woven into the very fabric of the Dales with a history that stretches through centuries.
Today those threads remain, perhaps growing stronger with the success of a yarn festival for Skipton that is popular worldwide. Now Yarndale is also year-round, with a group to meet weekly to knit and natter and share. To the festival founders Emma Sandoe and Kate Beard, it's only natural. Wool is a 'brilliant, sustainable, versatile' resource that is quite literally 'growing on the hills' that surround us, they said.
So was born Yarndale - a festival to celebrate yarn and wool and all the wonderful things that surround it. It grew in popularity over time, until with lockdowns Yarndale at Home was born in 2020. Suddenly, it had 11,000 visitors worldwide. One project, calling for triangles of bunting, saw 6,000 submitted from 35 countries.
