In June, the historic Empire district of Porvoo will once again be filled with yarn, joy, and community – it’s time for the second edition of Garnfest Porvoo!
The old gym hall of the former School for the Deaf and the courtyard of Säie Wool will transform into a lively meeting place for knitters and yarn lovers. Come explore a beautiful selection of Finnish indie dyers, spinning mills, yarn brands, and knitting accessories – and enjoy the warm atmosphere with like-minded people.
You’re welcome to sit and knit in the courtyard or in Säie Wool’s cozy “living room.” Feel free to bring a picnic blanket and spend a relaxed summer day surrounded by yarn and good company.
