Sponsors

An event costs money to run. A non-profit event like the Woolinale, which does not have any entrance fees or other sources of income, therefore needs partners who are just as excited about the idea and the production of the event as we are.

We are very pleased that we have found strong sponsors who immediately and enthusiastically agreed to our request and thus made the Woolinale possible in the first place.

We would like to thank all sponsors for the constructive idealistic and financial support, for providing the prizes and for a wonderful co-working experience.

And for a knitting and crochet needle manufacturer from Germany, there is hardly anything better than to support a project that showcases this art internationally.
