Northern Rivers Fibre Festival

The Northern Rivers Fibre Festival is a vibrant celebration of creativity, craftsmanship and community, bringing together fibre enthusiasts from across the region for a weekend dedicated to all things yarn and textile. Held at the Mullumbimby Civic Memorial Hall, the festival showcases the full journey of fibre — from farm-grown materials and hand-spun yarn through to beautifully crafted artisan products. Visitors can browse a diverse range of vendors featuring wool, yarn, tools, supplies and handmade creations, while meeting the talented makers and producers behind them. The event is a welcoming space for anyone with an interest in fibre arts, including spinning, weaving, embroidery, crochet, knitting, sewing, dyeing and mending. Whether you're a seasoned maker or simply curious about the craft, the festival offers inspiration, learning opportunities and the chance to discover new techniques and materials. A dedicated sit-and-stitch area invites visitors to bring along their current projects, connect with fellow makers and enjoy the relaxed community atmosphere that makes the fibre world so special. Entry to the festival is by gold coin donation, with proceeds supporting the event's charity partner. With creative energy, beautiful handmade work and a strong sense of community, the Northern Rivers Fibre Festival is a must-visit event for craft lovers across the region.
