27th to 29th June

Wool & Walk trip in Northern Highlands.

In collaboration with ‘The Thoughtful Knitter’, we are launching a Wool & Walk trip following the sell out success of last year’s pilot venture. Our latest Wool and Walk will start and end in Inverness. If you’re interested in yarn and like the appeal of some exploratory walks in the Highlands, then join others with the same interest. The walks are gentle but aim to break up journeys and give a real experience of the scenery, providing contrast with visiting yarn producers, retailers, a farm and enjoying a knitting experience.
