Wool@J13 is a yarn show like no other I’ve ever attended! It’s got the vibe of a summer music festival and it’s really, really laid-back, relaxed, chilled and charming. Just magical! The Sockmatician

Absolutely the best yarn festival I have ever been to. I learned a lot – and my dog was allowed to come as well. I had a great time. Thankyou! Katie Mansfield

The atmosphere and vibrancy of the event were incredible. Jennifer Smith

Visitors to Staffordshire’s Wool @ J13 festival on 18 & 19 May 2019 can expect heaps of wool and yarn-related fun this year – including a challenge aimed at getting male visitors to pick up some needles and give knitting a try.

Global knitting star, The Sockmatician, heads up the workshop programme just announced for Wool@J13 2019. Whether you knit, crochet or needle felt, there is something for everyone to learn which is the order of the day from Wool@J13's organisers, Ingrid Wagner & Val James. This year, they present children's workshops running alongside those for adults, mixing science & crafts in a whole new way.
