Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This trip is custom made with a focus on introducing the history, culture, and rich tradition of knitting in Iceland. Our group will meet local Icelandic women who are experts in working with Icelandic wool, visit a local mini mill, and learn about the production of lamb wool. We will also participate in a workshop where we hand dye our own yarn with Icelandic herbs. There will be time to visit the more popular tourist sights on the Golden Circle and soak in a geothermal pool. Lodging is in a beautiful guesthouse which our group will have all for ourselves. At the guesthouse, we can use the living room for knitting together or go to the hot tub on the patio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
