Description

Join host Gea on this globetrotting episode of Skein and Tell as she takes you on a whirlwind fiber adventure across the world’s most magical yarn festivals and events. From cozy sheep-filled fields in Scotland to sun-drenched Mediterranean marketplaces and vibrant indie pop-ups in Seoul, this is your ultimate travel guide to the places where skeins, stitches, and soul collide.

You’ll discover:

  • Which castle-turned-festival in France smells like lavender and destiny

  • Why Rhinebeck is basically the Beyoncé of North American yarn events

  • The Tokyo festival where kawaii chaos meets sashiko serenity

  • How yarn festivals in South America and Africa are blending tradition, sustainability, and serious indie flair

  • Tips, stories, and swoon-worthy locations that will have you planning your next fiber pilgrimage before the episode ends

Plus, don’t miss the Archaeology of Yarn segment with Yarndiana Jones as we explore the wild history of fiber embellishments: beads, buttons, sequins, and all the shiny little things that have powered revolutions (and runways) for millennia.

Whether you're booking a ticket or building a dream list, this episode is your invitation to explore the colorful, cozy, and sometimes chaotic world of yarn travel.
