The big event all about needlework. Review of NADELWELT Karlsruhe 2025
14,000 square metres, 140 dealers, 30 art exhibitions, 48 courses on a separate seminar level, over 10,300 visitors - these are the sober facts of 3 days of NADELWELT Karlsruhe 2025.
But all those who were able to attend NADELWELT will not remember the statistics and figures, but the happy faces, the intensive discussions - simply the unique atmosphere that such a major needlework event offers.
"When I walked past all the large coaches from all over Europe in the trade fair car park, I had goose bumps," reports a visitor on her way to the main entrance. "That's when you realise what a big community needlework is. It's a really great feeling - like a huge class reunion or a big family."
In addition to all the colourful stands with wool, fabrics, yarns, haberdashery or sewing and embroidery machines, it is above all the impressive density of expert knowledge that attracts visitors to NADELWELT time and time again. Specialists from industry and trade provide information about their products. Textile artists give an insight into their creative work. And course instructors teach techniques, manual skills and practical tips on how everyone can develop their own skills a little further.
The Live! Forum - a multifunctional space that alternates between presentations, lectures, workshops and appearances by popular influencers.
NADELWELT Karlsruhe - more needlework is not possible. If you want to be there next year, you should definitely make a note of the next date: 15 to 17 May 2026, Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre.
