Created by the team from Woolfull in the Hope Valley, The Wool Monty is an event dedicated to celebrating all things yarn. It brings with it a vibrant, creative atmosphere and a strong sense of community. The Wool Monty continues to grow in popularity and attracts crafters, makers, and textile enthusiasts from up and down the country.
The Wool Monty offers a unique and inspiring setting for two days of creativity and connection. With more than 60 independent vendors and exhibitors across the weekend, the event showcases a curated selection of high-quality vendors, makers, and educators from across the UK’s thriving crafting scene.
Debbie, one of the founder members of The Wool Monty said: “We're super excited to be back at Magna for The Wool Monty 2025. We can't wait to fill the Big Hall with as much yarn and as many yarn folks as it can handle!
"Last year's event was a joyful celebration of craft and community from start to finish and the whole weekend is fun, friendly and inclusive. We really appreciate the accessibility and history of this great venue and look forward to hosting our event there for the foreseeable future."
The independent designers and vendors will be able to offer insights into the world of yarn and crafting. There will also be several dedicated social spaces where visitors can relax, connect and craft in comfort.
Richard Hammill, CEO at Magna said: “We are incredibly proud to be hosting The Wool Monty once again at Magna. It’s an event that not only celebrates artistry and craftsmanship but also fosters a strong sense of togetherness and wellbeing. We’re looking forward to welcoming Debbie and the team Debbie, Mand and Rosie, the team behind The Wool Monty, back to Magna for another brilliant event.”
