Brei- en Haakdagen

You visit the Knitting and Crochet Days mainly to shop for new yarn and patterns, of course. There are over 70 shops and companies participating in the market area, covering both knitting and crocheting. In this age of online shops, it's important to also showcase yourself at fairs. The most special shops with an international character can be found in Breda. There are many exhibitors from the Netherlands as well as from Belgium and Portugal. The goal of the event is to connect people and particularly to help them advance in their knitting and crocheting projects. Connection happens by bringing visitors into contact with one another. Everyone shares the same passion, namely knitting or crocheting. And that creates a bond. Furthermore, there are a large number of longer workshops led by the best knitting and crochet experts from the Netherlands. For example, Carla Meijsen and Julia Wilkens are conducting knitting workshops with varied techniques. Belgian An Peeters is offering a masterclass in brioche knitting and double knitting. In the workshop areas, there are many short workshops where you can refine your techniques.
