In years past, Knit City started in Vancouver and spread to Toronto and Montreal but this is the first time the weekend fibre festival is coming to Calgary.
Street lights and other poles along Stephen Avenue are decorated with yarn for the upcoming Knit City event at the Telus Convention CentreIn years past, Knit City started in Vancouver and spread to Toronto and Montreal but this year is the first time the weekend fibre festival is coming to Calgary.
Caroline Sommerfeld and her team at Ancient Arts Fibre are loading everything they're taking to the show, but there is still a lot of died yarn that has to be dried before it can be packed. "Because let's face it, no matter what craft we do, understanding the fibre that we use is really important to how well that works," she added, "so we're going to have all sorts of 'here's how yarn is made, behind the scenes' and then lots of things to touch and feel and experience so visitors will be able to try out lots of different yarns and get a better understanding of what we're all selling and playing with.
"Whether you are a new vendor or you are a new person that's never been to one of these festivals, you're going to have a great time," she said. "There are tons of volunteers to support everybody, there are tons of staff to support everybody, new vendors will have support from all of the vendors there, new customers will meet a lot of really interesting and exciting people so you should absolutely come out and have some fun.
