About This Market

The Karoo Winter Wool Festival celebrates the journey of wool from farm to final product, offering visitors a unique opportunity to experience the world of natural fibres firsthand. Set in Middelburg, South Africa’s Wool Mecca, the festival highlights the people, skills and traditions that make the wool industry such an important part of rural life.

Bringing together farmers, wool buyers, brokers, designers, crafters and consumers, the festival creates valuable connections across the entire wool value chain. It promotes the benefits of wool and other natural fibres while supporting rural communities, local agriculture and the growth of South Africa’s wool and crafting industries.

Presented in partnership with Cape Wools SA, the festival offers a family-friendly experience filled with authentic demonstrations, educational exhibits, local products and hands-on activities that inspire a deeper appreciation for wool and locally made goods.
