Now there are three - Wales, Scotland and England
Since launching our first World Textile Day in Wales in 2009, the response from visitors and textile enthusiasts has been unanimous - fantastic! So, in 2012 we took World Textile Day to Bridge of Allan in Scotland - and again, the response was overwhelmingly positive.
Everybody said, 'Thank you and please come back again next year.' Well, we are!
Even better... for 2013 we are delighted to announce our first World Textile Day in England - 7 Sep 2013 in Norfolk.
