Join us on this very unique trip to Ireland tailor-made for knitters. Visit a country with a tradition rich in knitting and fiber arts. Travel in the company of other knitters, and enjoy the special opportunity to take part in workshops led by Chris Bylsma. Chris is a well-known knitting instructor who encourages her students to “think outside the box” and “color outside the lines”. She will share her expertise along the way, and through three exciting workshops. You’ll also have two special “meet and greet” events with Irish knitters to share knitting stories and swap techniques. Take a real look at Irish knitting and make some new Irish friends! We’ll also visit yarn shops, stop at the Sheep and Wool museum, and take a ferry to the Aran Islands. You can look forward to this and so much more on your Irish adventure.

Ireland is a country known for its stunning landscapes, vibrant colorful villages, Celtic relics, lush green valleys and abandoned castles. As an ocean outpost at the western edge of Europe, it has a natural character quite different from the rest of Europe. Ireland’s long past has been remarkably tumultuous provoking a tradition of courage, humour and creativity. More recently it has become synonymous with quality goods, fine cuisine and excellent shopping-with a wealth of Irish crafts, clothing and gifts available throughout Ireland.

We’ll travel from Shannon north to Galway and Connemara and then east to Dublin, our departure point. We’ll enjoy a comfortable, luxury motor coach (a great place to knit) with our own driver/guide as we explore the beautiful Irish countryside visit the yarn by design website for more information
