Denmark is the ultimate destination to embrace “hygge,” the Danish art of cosiness. Imagine strolling through the charming streets of Copenhagen with your knitting friends, stopping at artisan yarn shops, and exploring traditional Scandinavian knitting techniques. Dive into workshops led by local Danish experts, who will teach you how to create intricate designs inspired by Nordic heritage.
In addition, let’s not forget the castles! Denmark has stunning historic sites, from Kronborg Castle (the setting for Shakespeare’s Hamlet) to quaint cobbled villages. Between scenic tours and knitting sessions, you will also have time to savour Danish pastries and a warming glass of gløgg (warm mulled wine) by the fire—perfect for unwinding after a day filled with fibre and friends.
If your knitting circle craves some sunshine along with their stitches, Spain’s beautiful Catalonia region is an ideal choice. Wander through vibrant markets, sample delicious tapas, and find inspiration in the rich colours and textures of Spanish architecture. Here, you can enjoy workshops that highlight Spain’s wool traditions and even try your hand at dyeing with local, natural pigments.
Moreover, let us not forget the scenic views! Imagine knitting on a warm terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, or exploring magical castles and windmills surrounded by rolling vineyards. Explore historic sites like the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, enjoy some flamenco music, and knit to the beat of Spain’s vibrant, welcoming culture.
For anyone who has ever dreamed of knitting in a storybook setting, Ireland is a must. Picture yourself sipping tea while you knit by the fire with your closest friends. The Irish countryside, with its lush, green hills and rugged cliffs, is brimming with inspiration.
Join us as we visit some of Ireland’s most famous woollen mills, take hands-on workshops in traditional Aran knitting, and even meet local sheep farmers who will tell you everything about the local wool industry. From lively pubs to ancient castles, your days will be filled with fun, laughter, and new knitting techniques. In addition, your group will get to knit with locally-sourced Irish yarn that will make each stitch a treasured memory.
For those truly seeking the roots of knitting tradition, the Aran Islands off Ireland’s west coast offer a rare opportunity to dive deep into the iconic Aran sweater patterns. Each stitch tells a story—about family, history, and the resilient island communities who pioneered these designs.
Your group can learn the art of Aran knitting from island locals who have perfected these techniques over generations. Imagine knitting at the edge of the wild Atlantic Ocean, exploring ancient ruins, and hearing traditional Irish music as you soak up the magic of island life. This is more than just a knitting tour- it’s a journey into the heart of a cultural legacy that will inspire your knitting projects for years to come.
Scotland is a land that understands wool. Here, you will journey through the misty highlands and rugged coastline, experiencing the heritage of Scottish wool production first-hand.

And for the ultimate experience, venture up to the Shetland Islands, known worldwide for their Fair Isle knitting techniques. The colours and patterns of Fair Isle are inspired by the island’s natural beauty, and you will have the chance to learn this traditional style from master knitters who are keeping it alive.
