Shetland Yarn Shopping & the Best Sheep Experience- Days 5-6 - Knit California

Come with me on the Stitching in Scotland & Shetland with Rachel Tour from April 24 to May 3, 2026! On Day 5, we took the short ferry over to Bressay Island to visit Chris Dyer at Garth's Croft. He also led us on a couple small hikes on the island: one to see Bressay Lighthouse, and one on the path to Noss. On Day 6, we had a knitting belt workshop with Janette Budge, a tour of the Shetland Museum, then we ended the day with some free time to shop in Lerwick. Enjoy!
