Canberra Wool Expo: A Celebration of Wool – DAY 1
May 23 @ 9:30 am - May 24 @ 2:30 pm
Two Full Days of Wool & Wool-Crafted Excellence
Immerse yourself in two full days dedicated to wool and wool-related products, celebrating one of the world’s most timeless and versatile natural fibres. Wool has endured through generations—not just for its practicality, but for its beauty, sustainability, and craftsmanship.
Just ask the many passionate craftspeople and producers from Canberra, the surrounding region, and across Australia who come together for this event. They don’t just sell their work—they create, demonstrate, and share the stories behind their craft, making this a truly engaging and authentic experience.
This is a rare opportunity to meet and speak directly with wool producers, artisans, and designers, gaining insight into their techniques, inspirations, and the journey from raw fibre to finished product.
Live demonstrations will run throughout the event, showcasing traditional and contemporary techniques—from hand-spinning and felting to weaving and textile creation—bringing the artistry of wool to life right in front of you.
If it can be made from wool, chances are you’ll find it here.
