Introduction

27 Feb 2025 - 10 Mar 2025

Are you interested in knitting, crocheting, weaving and textiles in general?  Then if so, join us on this specialist Crafts & Culture small group tour that has been hand curated just for you.

Meet like-minded fibre enthusiasts and get the opportunity to connect with and support local communities, artisans and craft makers. 

Follow your passion, bond with fellow travellers and ignite your creativity by joining us on this exciting adventure to beautiful South Africa in March 2025. 

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.

For those who wish to extend this itinerary and add on a Safari Experience, please contact us and we will gladly assist you with bookings and with choosing a safari lodge.

Don’t miss out on this fabulous opportunity and secure your booking NOW as space is limited to 12 pax.

We look forward to welcoming you to South Africa
