ALLISON THISTLEWOOD unravel

This month we chat to Allison Thistlewood from unravel...

Tell us about unravel 2020...

unravel is a magical yarn show that takes place once a year in Farnham, Surrey, just outside London. This year it will run from 21-23 February 2020.

What can we find and do at unravel?

This year unravel is our biggest yet as we have over 80 exhibitors in our marketplace and an expanded workshop and talks programme too. New in 2020 is our Indie Maker Market which will showcase smaller and emerging makers. It will definitely be the place to make new discoveries! Our talks programme will take place in the new Inner Yarn Sanctum sponsored by Garthenor Organic, which will also be a cosy place for yarn lovers to hang out with their projects. We get makers coming from all over the UK and around the world for the show and want to welcome them.

What are the highlights for 2020?

The centrepiece of unravel is our marketplace which has had a complete refresh thanks to our teaming up with BIPOC in Fiber for our selection committee. Almost half of our exhibitors are new or returning after a year or two away from the show. Our expanded workshop programme boasts an international line-up of tutors from Canada, Scotland, The Netherlands, Austria and of course England.

Where can we find out more?

Advance tickets and workshop places are now available through our website where you can also find further details on all of our workshop tutors and exhibitors, www.craft. farnhammaltings.com.
