Why go to Iceland on a knitting holiday if not to learn about the many and various Icelandic knitting traditions?
Our knitting travels attract knitters from all over the world, including native Icelanders, for an unforgettable experience where Icelandic traditions and culture, breathtaking nature and master knitting workshops, perfectly balance one another.
The knitting holidays are a collaboration between Icelandic designer Hélène Magnússon and Icelandic Mountain Guides, a leading tour operator in Iceland. They are happy to have Hélène back in the touring world and to offer the novelty of knitting tours!
