Held every February, the renowned festival runs over three days and features a packed programme of bookable workshops, free talks, exhibitions and a diverse marketplace of exhibitors from across the UK and beyond.

A selection of hand dyed variegated yarns

Ever fancied dyeing your own yarn but not sure where to start? Or perhaps you’re on the look out for a fun day out with your yarn-loving friends? Join Becci in the RiverKnits dye studio and create your own personalised variegated colourway.

You will cover the basics of yarn dyeing with specific attention to techniques for variegated yarn. All equipment is provided on the day. 200g of un-dyed Bluefaced Leicester wool yarn is included in the cost of the course, although you will have the opportunity to purchase more before the day starts.
