    UKFT teams with UKTI and the Campaign for Wool to host textile showcase

    In anticipation of the Grand Départ of the Tour de France from Leeds, the UK Fashion and Textile Association (UKFT) has teamed up with UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) and the Campaign for Wool (of which the HRH Prince of Wales is Patron) to host a comprehensive showcase of the Yorkshire textile industry. Taking place at The Carriageworks in Leeds next month (see Fashion Insight Events), the event will celebrate the diversity and creativity of the contemporary Yorkshire textile industry. The festival will include a textile and fashion showcase of textiles and garments made from premium yarn and fabrics all designed, spun, woven and finished in Yorkshire. There will also be a catwalk show at 14:00 and 16:00, along with other interactive activities including a fun cycling-themed hand-knitting PicKnit workshop where visitors can try their hand at knitting, using some of Yorkshire’s most luxurious pure wool yarns.
