Where the craft still lives

Our textile tours go to the places where traditions continue to flourish. In Shetland, that means knitting, taught by local tutors on islands renowned for their distinctive patterns and wool. What each itinerary involved varies, and every tour sets out its workshops and visits before you book.

You travel with expert Tour Managers, and on the craft tours you work alongside local tutors who practise and teach the craft themselves.

A skein of wool, an intricate pattern, generations of skill. Discover the imagination behind the craft with the people who keep it alive.
