8 Knitters, One Car, and 7,500 Yarn Lovers
The Roadtrip to Madrid
It started exactly how you might imagine: eight ladies full of anticipation, loading up the cars outside the shop in Alfaz del Pi. We were heading to Madrid, specifically for the Love Yarn Madrid festival. The mood was high, the coffee was hot, and the knitting needles were already clicking in the backseat before we even hit the highway.
Setting up for Kool Knits of Norway
We were there on a mission. Our experienced team had the task of setting up the stand for Kool Knits of Norway. If you have ever built a festival booth from scratch, you know it involves a bit of organized everyday chaos.
But our gang handled it with absolute top-class teamwork, a lot of laughs, and an impressive professional pride. Before long, we were ready to represent our corner of the yarn world alongside roughly 70 other fantastic exhibitors.

7,500 Reasons to Smile
And what a crowd it was! Around 7,500 yarn enthusiasts from all over the world walked through those doors over the weekend. We spent our days doing exactly what we love most:
-
Chatting with you all about our favorite Kool Knits of Norway patterns.
-
Helping knitters find the perfect yarn combinations and accessories for their next project.
-
Sharing tips, tricks, and a good dose of knitting humor.
Between the eight of us, we have decades of knitting knowledge and experience. Honestly, you’d have to look hard to find a group with more combined yarn expertise! But the absolute best part of these festivals is that we never stop learning. We took the time to walk around, chat with both large and small independent designers, and gathered so much fresh inspiration to bring back home.
