       Hi Marlene, I have not heard when the Edinburgh Yarn Festival will take place. On their website it says that the next EYF will be in 2021. It usually takes place in February, however, with the COVID restrictions, this seems unlikely.

    Hello!
    We have an annual knitting festival in Kihnu island, Estonia.
    This year it will start tomorrow already, the dates are September 3.-5.
    Usually it is held in spring, in April, but with the COVID regulations we had to postpone it to September.
    Facebook event (in Estonian): https://www.facebook.com/events/405577030869658

       Hi Frauke,
       I am happy to add this festival, however, I need to know the venue and dates before I can add it. I have looked on the website, but cannot find this information.
