The Knitfest countdown is on

Calling all yarn lovers to explore Knitfest Yarn markets

CALLING all yarn lovers, crafty creatives, and curious newcomers — the Knitfest Yarn Markets are almost here, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for a weekend of colour, creativity, and a feast of yarn.

Our fabulous stallholders have been busy behind the scenes — dyeing vibrant yarns, creating stunning handmade garments, and curating all your favourite fibre art supplies. Whether you love knitting, crochet, felting, weaving, spinning — or you’re just starting to explore — this is the event for you!

Expect a vibrant market full of everything fibre art as well as other interesting market stalls. Mark Easton will be playing his Mongolian Folk music and there will be interactive demonstrations and hands-on fun at one of our many workshops.

The event will also feature engaging artisan displays — and of course, that warm, welcoming Knitfest vibe! Don’t forget to wear your best Knitfest outfits!

While we’re taking a little break from yarnbombing the entire main street this year, some fun traditions remain — like the ever-popular yarnbombed BMW, returning to wow the crowds once again!

Plus, don’t miss a very special treat: Maleny’s own Madame Tussaud, Allan Noon, will showcase his remarkable collection of celebrity mannequins wearing original designs created by Allan.

Stallholder applications are still open — so if you sell fibre art products, craft supplies, or anything that might delight handcraft enthusiasts, get in touch!

Come along for a fun, fibre-filled weekend in the beautiful town of Maleny. We’ll see you at Knitfest 2025!
