Say hello to our Vendors!

Gracipity is a space for creativity, reflection, and small moments of joy. Every piece, kit, and experience is designed to elevate the everyday, connect people to craft, and leave something memorable behind. It’s about noticing the little things, making them extraordinary, and inviting others to do the same.

To make your festival experience a little more memorable, join in the beginners workshop - guided step by step, participants will learn simple hand felting techniques and you’ll take home your own tealight holder choosing colours that reflect your personal style. Tickets for workshop places are for sale in our SumUp store - check the links in our bio!

Gracipity will be with us on Saturday 3rd October, The Commons at Ballynafeigh for Wool, Wheel, and Weft.

Meet Debbie Orr | Natural dyer!

Created out of a love for natural dyeing and an awe for the colours produced by nature, Debbie’s passion for colour creates a delightful palette of muted semi-solids and tonal colourways.

Slow, small batch dyeing created with care capturing the soft, muted colours created by nature to enhance your creative projects.
Like a mini-herbarium, preserving the colours yielded by so many different specimens

Debbie uses her garden of natural dyeing plants, along with foraging from hedgerows along our country roads and natural extracts to boost the range of colour with plenty of overdyeing (her favourite thing) to achieve different tones. In addition to yarn, she also dyes silk threads. Everything is small batch.

Herbarium Dyeworks will be with us on Saturday 3rd October, The Commons at Ballynafeigh for Wool, Wheel, and Weft.

SoulScapes is a needlefelt artist
"I make needle‑felted landscapes inspired by the places that stay with me —
the bend in a tree, the quiet stretch of coastline, the colours that linger long after the moment has passed.
Each piece is made slowly, shaped with care, and rooted in the calm I find in the world around me.
I hope everyone who stops at my table can find a little scene that feels like their somewhere"

They'll be with us on Saturday 3rd October, The Commons at Ballynafeigh for Wool, Wheel, and Weft.
