Join Scotland’s knit crowd
The Olympics are over and this year we’ve watched all sorts of new events, such as skateboarding and BMX freestyle. One event, though not Olympic, caught the attention of many – Tom Daley knitting poolside.
If you fancy giving it a go, Arena Holidays has a six-day break: Spirit of Shetland Knitting Holiday.
You’ll learn the Fair Isle technique from experts and get the chance to meet local and knitting textile designers and hear about the Shetland yarn at a mill. Departs May 4 and
June 22, 2022. From £1,675 per person, half-board, with return flights from Edinburgh to Sumburgh and guides.
