Wool & the City brings Fürth into knitting mood
When yarn, handicrafts, and urban life come together, a festival with a special market atmosphere is created. Wool & the City will transform Fürth on September 26 and 27, 2026, into a meeting point for wool, yarns, accessories, and creative ideas. Organized by Wool & the City GbR and centered around the iba Forum, the format targets visitors who appreciate regional diversity, design, and true craftsmanship. The Fürth tourism describes the event as a three-day wool festival with a kickoff at Babylon and a market on the weekend at iba Forum.

Market character with fabric, structure, and style
Exhibitors and designers are at the center of the event, along with a market surrounding wool, yarns, and accessories. The format combines shopping experience and industry knowledge: visitors encounter products for knitting, crocheting, and textile projects, complemented by inspiration for their own handicraft daily life. Fürth itself, as a city with a vibrant market and shopping culture, provides a fitting framework for this creative weekend.

The market clearly targets people seeking quality, material feel, and selection. The focus is on wool, yarns, and accessories, which are precisely the things that turn an idea into a tangible project. The tourism classification explicitly mentions exhibitors, designers, and market offerings surrounding the theme of wool. Official social media profiles of individual vendors or additional providers are not reliably listed in the available sources.
