The Scotland 2025 Tour is SOLD OUT!
To be added to the waitlist, please contact Alice Travel (information below)

Join me on an incredible fiber-filled adventure in Scotland from April 26-May 3, 2025. As we travel through Edinburgh, Inverness, and the Highlands together, this breathtaking country will be the perfect backdrop for the crafting, laughing, and knitting we’ll be doing.

​

In our small group experience, we’ll visit museums, nature centers, and historical landmarks, while also taking amazing workshops that spark our creativity and bring us a deeper understanding of Scotland. In addition to the workshops we take with Scottish craftspeople, I’ll have themed workshops and knitting projects for us at the end of each day. Knitted plaid, anyone?

​

Connect through our common threads as we share our passion for travel, art, history, and (of course) knitting - all while experiencing the beauty of Scotland.

On our journey to Inverness, we will stop at the Scottish Crannog Centre. There, we will learn about Iron Age life in Scotland while trying our hands at making some of the essential items that prehistoric communities would have made and used. After our experience at the Crannog Centre, we will stop at Moulin Yarns, a yarn shop carrying Scottish-spun and dyed yarns, for a demonstration and a little yarn snuggling.​
