Welcome to

Cold Water International Knitting Festivals

We renew the relevance of knitting.

COLD WATER KNITTING FESTIVALS



Is an amazing cooperation between 4 distinctive knitting festivals in Scandinavia and Scotland.



All 4 festivals are located by the ocean, either by the North Sea or by the North Atlantic Ocean. Rough weather conditions and the need for warm clothes have developed the skills of knitting. Each country has then translated their own culture into their knitting and hereby made the Nordic and Scottish knitting traditions unique.


COLD WATER KNITTING FESTIVALS share, explore, develop, innovate and challenge the Nordic and Scottish knitting traditions.


You find us in Denmark, Scotland, Norway and Iceland.

"

We started from signals we received from many directions -There were so many interesting knitting initiatives in these four knitting festivals. They were about knitting in different local forms as a tool for expressing also the cultural histories. We decided to join forces to face the raising need for sharing our knitting traditions.


COLD WATER KNITTING FESTIVALS

Rely on a large audience visiting these four knitting festivals – together we explore how knitting can create a positive community between people.


Each of these four countries share a rich cultural heritage in hand knitting traditions. Wool has traditionally been used in Nordic handicrafts with distinctive methods and patterns formed in each area.


COLD WATER KNITTING FESTIVALS

offer you the best within knitting and inspiration.
