New festival to celebrate fibre arts

Join the knitalong and create your own Brioche scarf

04th Mar 2025

A new festival is making its debut this March in Guyra, with preparations well underway for the inaugural Guyra Fleece and Fibre Frolic (GF&FF). This exciting one-day event will celebrate all things Fibre Arts, offering a unique opportunity for spinners, weavers, retailers, producers, and the public to come together and immerse themselves in the world of fibre.
The idea for GF&FF was sparked by local spinners eager to share their passion and skills for fibre arts. With the aim of creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere, the festival will feature various spaces to engage with the craft, including an area for hands-on activities, an exhibition space for displaying items, and retail stalls showcasing local fibre producers and retailers from across New South Wales. Attendees can also look forward to engaging, enthusiast-led discussions on a wide range of fibre arts topics.
As part of the lead-up to the festival, visitors can expect to see vibrant yarn bombing installations around town. The whimsical yarn-decorated gazebo, umbrellas, and butterflies that graced the Lamb & Potato Festival will be making a return, alongside new creations to brighten up the town’s streets.
A special highlight of the GF&FF will be the Knitalong, where participants can join in creating a Brioche scarf using a special pattern designed by Jenny Wild and Louise Pearson. The pattern will be available soon for those eager to get started ahead of the event.
The festival will take place at the Lamb and Potato Hall on the New England Highway in Guyra on Saturday, March 22nd, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It promises to be an inclusive and inspiring event, where everyone is welcome to bring their own fibre arts projects, whether it be spinning wheels, drop spindles, looms, crochet, felting, or knitting. It’s an opportunity to share your passion with like-minded people or simply enjoy discovering the many aspects of fibre arts.
For updates and more information, check out the Guyra Fleece and Fibre Frolic’s Facebook page, which is being regularly updated as the event draws closer.
The event has been made possible thanks to the support of the Guyra Lamb and Potato Festival committee, who see the GF&FF as a wonderful extension of their ongoing celebration of all things sheepy and local.
Don’t miss out on the chance to experience the first-ever GF&FF—mark your calendars and come along to enjoy the fun!
