CUBES IN GALLERY
🪡 Who says knitfest is only about yarn?
Our Community Partner KREANDO is bringing a whole other world of creativity to knitfest.
While their Marketplace booth is all about yarn, their space in the Cube is dedicated to fabrics, sewing and getting creative with your hands.
🎨 Live block printing. Watch how simple stamps and screen-printing inks can transform fabric into something completely unique. And get inspired by all the lovely things you can sew with your own printed designs.
🧵 Sewing kits & DIY inspiration. Discover a colourful selection of fabric pieces, KREANDO sewing kits and patterns, including a DIY Advent calendar and a project bag.
And the best part? You can shop KREANDO's fabric stamps, printing inks and fabric pieces directly on site to bring your own creative ideas to life.
Make sure to explore KREANDO's Cube during knitfest. 💙
