Knit and Nature Ireland: A 7 Night Autumn Knitting Tour
The Emerald Isle may be famous for its forty shades of green, but in autumn, Ireland reveals a whole new palette of warm, rich and vibrant colours. Join us for 7 unforgettable nights of knitting, nature, Irish wool, fibre, colour and craft, exploring the landscapes and makers that make Ireland so unique.
Begin your Irish knitting adventure in Dublin with a welcome brunch before stepping into the autumn splendour of the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin. Wander through beautiful gardens alive with seasonal colour, fascinating plant life and rich natural textures — the perfect place to begin gathering inspiration for your own autumn knitting palette. Discover why everyone is in love with This Is Knit, Dublin's No. 1 yarn store, and receiving a special welcome gift.
A highlight of your Ireland knitting experience will be two immersive days of garment knitting with Carol Feller of Stolen Stitches, working on a pattern you'll love while developing your skills alongside fellow knitters.
Meander through Ireland's spectacular landscapes, discovering the fascinating connection between land, fleece, fibre and yarn. Meet inspiring makers including Sandra King of Fleece & Fibre Experience and Ériu of County Wicklow Farm to Yarn. Enjoy a hands-on natural yarn dyeing workshop with Talú Earth in rural Ireland.
Discover Irish wool and textile traditions at Kerry Woollen Mills, see a historic mill in action, visit Hedgehog Fibres and experience Blarney Woollen Mills. At the Foynes Flying Boat Museum (complete with Maureen O'Hara collection), enjoy a talk and pop-up shop with Ballyhoura Yarns, whose beautiful collections are inspired by the landscapes around us.
Along the way, Ireland itself becomes your inspiration. Explore the Cliffs of Moher, discover the ancient Glendalough Monastic Site, and experience the flora and fauna of Killarney National Park on a horse and carriage ride followed by a scenic lake cruise.
Your carefully chosen accommodation includes The Chancery in Dublin, the Temple Gate Hotel in Ennis, and an unforgettable lakeside stay with exclusive use of Loch Lein Country House in Killarney.
This is more than a knitting tour. It's a journey into Irish wool, natural fibres, sustainable craft and the landscapes that inspire them — a chance to slow down, learn, create and connect with Ireland through knitting and nature.
Come for the knitting. Stay for the colour, landscapes, people and unforgettable Irish experience.

Fabulous service with attention to detail. Every Ireland experience was fun and well planned. This trip showed the beauty of Ireland with special attention to the wool industry ( knitters will not want to miss this) .
It was especially helpful that Knitting Tours arranged the pre-Tour accommodations &hop on hop off bus. The tour was interesting and fun. The group leader & bus driver were delightful. We had a very international group of women who all had knitting and love of yarn in common - a subset of us are even in a WhatsApp message group post-tour. I hope to do another KnittingTours.com trip within the next couple of years.
