Come along with me for a day at Unravel Festival 2026 at Farnham Maltings! 🧶

In this vlog, I take you around the festival with me, having a look at some of the wonderful yarn, knitting and fibre stalls and soaking up all the inspiration that Unravel has to offer.

I was also lucky enough to meet and chat with some brilliant people from the knitting world, including Stephen West of Westknits / Stephen & Penelope, Di Gilpin and Jeanette Sloan. I particularly loved chatting with Di about ganseys, their history and the traditional knitting techniques behind them – definitely a subject I’d love to explore more!

After our wander around the festival, I’m back home for a little show and tell of everything I bought at Unravel, including the yarn and knitting goodies that came home with me.

I had such a lovely day at Farnham Maltings and came away feeling incredibly inspired, so I hope you enjoy coming along with me.
