Alongside the host country, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain are the most strongly represented countries. The share of exhibitors from abroad currently totals almost 53 percent. Traditionally, the Cologne-based event has always attracted members of the trade from throughout the world. Last year, Messe Frankfurt Ausstellungen GmbH once again recorded an all-time high of approximately 8,900 trade visitors.

Visitors will, for example, be able to try out Tunisian crocheting in HobbyArt's workshop programme (bit-Verlag) - an striking technique that combines knitting and crocheting and results in an attractive 'woven look'.
Turbo-knitting for scarves & Co. will also be on offer at minute intervals. Striking, homemade, cuddly chenille creations, tatting friendship bracelets, hand spinning and the creation of fabulous accessories or machine sewing with special needles are just a few examples of the multitude of workshops on offer.
