Meet Us
A yarn show takes a lot of organising! Thankfully we have a fabulous group of YAFF Staff who share the workload.
When you come along to the show you’ll recognise the team as they’ll be wearing these bright yellow YAFF Staff t-shirts.
In the meantime read on to meet some of them…
Caroline is the indie dyer and owner of her natural hand-dyed yarn business, Gorgeous Yarns.
She has exhibited her yarns as well as running workshops and talks at many events over the last few years. As such she has experience of being a stallholder, tutor, speaker, and visitor.
Caroline has a creative focus for the show. She loves to work with pens, paper and scissors, doing the practical making and creating tasks. She also liaises with the exhibitors, particularly for the social media posts for YAFF.
She brings her hands-on approach, visualisation expertise, and social media skills to the team!

Hello – I’m Connie!
I’m a fibre enthusiast with a passion for all things creative. If it involves yarn, thread, or textiles, I’m all in! I learned to knit and crochet from my mum, and picked up peg loom weaving and embroidery from my nan. Over the years, I’ve also taught myself needle felting, wet felting, and more recently, I’ve rediscovered my love for sewing.
I’m also YAFF’s Workshop Manager – which means I have the pleasure of assisting with organising and supporting our vibrant extracurricular activities. I’ll be behind the scenes and on the ground, helping to ensure our workshops run smoothly and everyone has a fantastic experience.
I can’t wait to welcome you to our next Yarn and Fibre Festival – see you there!
