Join Debbie Abrahams & Jane Crowfoot
We are pleased to announce that we have teamed up with Rowan to offer you a choice of knitting holidays led by two well known experts, Debbie Abrahams and Jane Crowfoot.
In these tours you will find a heady mix of tours to destinations as diverse as Tuscany, the Shetlands and a memorable voyage north in Norway – The Northern Lights Holiday.
The programme has been crafted to combine your passion for knitting with our passion for travel. Each holiday is different but the focus will always be on enjoyment of your craft, the comfort of lovely hotels, the inspiration acquired from visiting a new destination and, of course the joy of sharing good food and wine in good company.
To this we have added that special ingredient – our experts. Debbie and Jane who will share their knowledge, inspire you, and show you new techniques in a series of classes and talks and help you to get the most out of your holiday.
We are very proud of our new programme and excited that at long last we are able to present it to you.
LAST MINUTE SPACE FOR SHETLANDS – 14 TO 18 MAY 2012
Due to a late cancellation we have 1 single room available (at the Shetlands Hotel) on the holiday with Debbie Abrahams. Please call 01473 660800 for details.
Rowan is delighted to be teaming up with Arena Travel on their forthcoming tours.
As a recognised global handknitting brand, Rowan is now entering its fourth decade. Over the past thirty years our ethos has always been firmly focused on inspiring and teaching crafters all over the world the joy of handknitting.
As a design-led handknitting company, Rowan produces two design collections each year; Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer. We work closely with a network of designers both in house and also freelance; Kaffe Fassett, Marie Wallin and Martin Storey, to name a few. Often we are asked where these designers get their inspiration from, and most say it is their travel which inspires their use of pattern, colour and texture.
Working with specialist tour operator Arena and established Rowan tutors Debbie Abrahams and Jane Crowfoot, we are sure that these holidays will secure themselves as the leading craft tours both in the UK and abroad.

‘Leaving one’s comfortable home to travel to an unknown locale is always a bit of an adventure, but travelling to find inspiration for design is intensely so.
I’ve always noticed that my perceptions are heightened by being in a new place. I see with sharper vision, so even quite ordinary objects gain significance and colours appear more vivid.’
Textile Designer, Kaffe Fassett
