Travel to Scotland with the Yarny Ewes 2025

Join us on a Yarny Trip to Scotland in 2025!  We're looking forward to taking in the sights of Scotland while enjoying yarny fun along the way!

Highlights include visiting Ginger Twist Studios in Edinburgh for shopping; time in Dumfries to participate in a needle-felting workshop; a fun-filled "Farm Day" at Kitchen Ewes and Coos to learn about sheep raising, visit their brood of sheep and Highland Coos, enjoy demonstrations, and hands-on activities with the coos and a farmhouse cream tea; traveling to Iona (the birthplace of Celtic Christianity) to visit Iona Craft Shop to learn about their wool and visit a croft on the island;  making our way to Ardalanish, the Isle of Mull Weavers to enjoy learning about their dye garden and process and to view their antique weaving equipment which is still in use today, along with a yarn dyeing workshop in Glasgow, a Tweed & Tartan slow stitching workshop in Edinburgh at Dovecot Studios and more!

Along the way, we'll have free time to enjoy stitching and exploring the area on our own in addition to group experiences, like visiting The Great Tapestry of Scotland and a tour of the Rosebank Distillery.
