Waltham Abbey Wool show is organised by Diana (Crochet Chain). It is a wonderful one day show in the Delta Marriott Hotel. A very well curated show with lovely exhibitors in a warm and welcoming venue.
One of our favourite UK yarns shows. We are looking forward to a weekend with fellow exhibitors, meeting new and existing customers, workshops and lots of yarn inspiration.
See you there?
