Combining general and craft-based sightseeing with workshops & local craft demonstrations, this “Knitting Tour” also includes cultural tours, the city of Cape Town, and wine tastings/tour in the beautiful Winelands.
Originally from Ålesund, Norway, Aase made Cape Town in South Africa her home in 2014 and has never looked back. Passionate about knitting since her early childhood, she runs a tour operator together with her colleague and business partner, Iain Cottam. He is based in Nairobi, Kenya and married to Heidi Dahl from Norway.
Together, we have created this special Small Group Tour to South Africa and can’t wait to welcome fellow yarn and textile enthusiasts.
This tour will take you to the beautiful city of Cape Town in South Africa and the incredible landscape will take your breath away where you will meet with many local crafters, spinners, dyers and get an insight into the South African culture and knitting heritage. You will stay in authentic 3 - 4 star accommodation during your whole stay.
