Fantastic knitting tour to Shetland Well organised tour to the Shetland Islands. The tour guide was very knowledgable about where we travelled and some of the history of Shetland. The bus driver was courteous and helpful at all times and willing to go out of his way, as time allowed, to give us the opportunity to see other things. The workshops were run by very talented women who shared their skill and knowledge in a way we could all benefit. The other tourist places were visited were in keeping with the theme of fibre and were interesting even for non knitters. I have come home with wonderful memories and new skills.

This was such a wonderful trip This was such a wonderful trip! It was well planned, with a great mix of knitting/craft experiences and site seeing. Our tour guide, Jane, was exceptional. She was knowledgeable, explained the sites and Ireland’s history and culture, and had a wonderful sense of humor. She managed to keep us on schedule seamlessly, and without being pushy. Our driver, Domenic, was splendid too. Highly recommended!

A delightful, informative experience This is the fourth Knitting Tours trip I have taken. This tour met the expectations set be the previous three. Tour guide June was knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around; the couch drivers Jim and Graeme were experts at navigating the narrow streets and tight parking lots, all with a great sense of humor. The tour itself was a good mix of history and sharing the knowledge of expert instructors. The food in the hotels and the various lunch stops was mostly excellent--if there's a criticism, it's that the portions were large, with wonderful desserts! I think we would have liked more opportunities to visit yarn shops. We had a few really good ones, but I don't think there could ever be too many opportunities! Overall it was a delightful, informative experience.

Fantastic Shetland/Scotland Knitting Tour My second review. This was an exceptional tour from beginning to end! Detailed descriptions, clear itinerary, specific accommodations, amazing & talented instructors were all carefully planned. There was a comfort built into the tour because of the professional planning. There was always someone to answer any concerns or questions without delay. Our tour guide & driver were so wonderful! They were knowledgeable, prepared, warm & personable & an important part of the success of our experience. It was just so much fun & I would absolutely recommend this trip & am most likely to take another.

Great Scottish Knitting Tour I had a fantastic time on the Scottish Highlands Knitting Tour. I am an avid knitter and a yarn snob. I love fibre, starting from the sheep breeds to processing, (sheering, carding, spinning, dying, etc), to finished products. I also love history and the history of yarn and Scottish clothing. This tour was fantastic in that we went to historic places, we met designers, historians, farmers and artists. We went to shops and villages. My need for information was met. I had lots of time to knit. I met interesting people. I am a retired professional and most people were also retired professionals. The tour guide was really fantastic and our coach driver was also awesome. They had to maneuver us through some very rough weather, and had to shift around workshops and presenters who couldn’t get to us due to road closures. We were safe, well taken care of, and had options available when weather was really miserable. It was great.
