FARNHAM Maltings' annual international festival of knitting, Unravel, is to return for its seventh year.

Unravel 2015 will take place over three days from Friday, February 20 - Sunday 22.

Since its launch in 2009, the festival has fast become one of the leading independent events for knitting and crochet enthusiasts from across the country, and now around the world, as the festival features an international talk in collaboration with PomPom Quarterly.

Last year 2,500 people attended the event over two days.

Featuring a programme of expert talks, live demonstrations and workshops catering to all levels, Unravel is a chance to celebrate the knitting revival.

As part of Unravel 2015, Farnham Maltings will be hosting a number of talks and masterclasses from international makers and artists as part of the wider Arrivals and Departures project and the collaboration with PomPom Quarterly.

Guests include Bristol Ivy, a knitting designer and teacher from Portland, Maine, Annemor Sundbø, a textile designer and teacher of weaving who is seen as one of Norway's leading craft experts and Sweater Spotter, Anna Maltz.
