About TexStyle
What is TexStyle?
We're a textile and stitch festival based in Manchester, returning for our second year in March 2027.
This city's history is full of textile heritage, which makes it the perfect stage for an event honouring the arts of stitching, spinning, knitting, and all things fibre-related.
We're hosting a colourful tapestry of exhibitors—indie businesses, local guilds, and craft groups—as well as talks, workshops, demonstrations, and gallery displays.

Who we are
TexStyle is run by Wool Gatherings Ltd. We’ve run yarn festivals for over a decade, starting with our first event in 2013.
The people behind Wool Gatherings are a mother and daughter team, Carole and Michelle. Carole has decades of experience in the knitting and crochet community. Michelle has degrees in both fashion design and digital media.
We’re not a big company where you’ll be dealing with lots of different departments - it's just us! We have a personal investment in making this a fun and friendly textile festival for everybody.
Wool Gatherings Ltd is registered in England and our company number is 14112793.
