The end of the Stitching in Scotland & Shetland Tour 2026 - Days 7-9 - Knit California

Come with me on the Stitching in Scotland & Shetland with Rachel Tour from April 24 to May 3, 2026! On Day 7, we had a fair isle headband workshop with Linda Shearer, a brewery tour and tasting at Lerwick Brewery, and a shopping trip at Jamieson & Smith before boarding the Northlink Ferry to head back to mainland Scotland. On Day 8, we stopped in Stonehaven to visit Baa! yarn shop, we visited Askival of Strathearn, and we made our way to the Dalmahoy Hotel. On Day 9, we visited Dovecot Studios and The Scotch Whisky Experience before our farewell dinner at Amber Restaurant. Thank you so much for coming along on this adventure with me!
