Spring Knitting Retreat (7 Days)

Spring Knitting Retreat in Icelandic Nature A Comfortable Knitting holiday during the Lambing and Birdwatching Season. This 8-day retreat will take us to the beautiful West of Iceland where the enchanting landscape, the first flowers of spring, the green moss, the utterly cute lambs and kids, the busy bird life, will inspire us as much as the knitting artifacts in the Textile Museum in Blönduós that we will have the chance to visit. Hélène will tell us about the Icelandic knitting traditions, more specifically the beautiful lace shawls. We will meet with many local crafters, spinners, dyers, tanners for an unforgettable insight into the Icelandic culture and knitting heritage. This trip does not include hiking but participants will be provided with the opportunity of exploring and taking walks where we will be staying, enjoy some bird watching or even go seal watching on the sea. Accommodation in comfortable guesthouses with an outdoor hot tub.
