midsummer knitting in norway with piece of ewe
This trip is the PERFECT blend of culture, fiber, and fun!! I learned so much about Norway -- it's culture, history, and traditions. The workshops are incredible and I definitely have some new fiber hobbies. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking -- I'll be dreaming of fjords and green mountains for a long time. And I traveled with some of the most interesting and lovely people I've ever met! As someone who participates in group tours as a solo traveler, it was a delight to find myself in such good company, both with the other tour guests and the trip leaders. I can't wait to go back to Norway!!

I highly recommend the Norway Unraveled trip! The itinerary is excellent and we did a lot of interesting things from fiber mills, to "living" museums, to working farms to staying on a tiny remote island and former fishing facility. Truly unique and truly special. Traveling with Birger and Sydney is an utter joy. They make for an exceptional team and you will have a blast being on their trip. This is a very special trip and you'll learn a lot about Norway in general and Norwegian knitting as well.

Rowan Tree finds interesting people and places the average tourist wouldn’t ever see. Combining travelers that share a common interest make these tours easy to go on even if you have never met another participant.

An adventure of a lifetime!!! So many things to do and see and experience. The tour was thoughtfully prepared with a variety for all the senses. Our guides worked hard to keep us on track and informed, and made the tour most enjoyable. It was nice to have social time together and time to have alone to reflect and rest.

This was the third trip that we sponsored through Rowan Tree Travel. We have never been disappointed in their wonderful trips. They have the best fiber ambassadors one could ask for. And the accommodations are always fantastic. I highly recommend them for any fiber travel.

2026 Norway Unravelled: Knits, Traditions and Nature was an exceptionally well designed and curated tour. We saw a lot, learned a lot, ate very well and stayed at lovely hotels, but most importantly, had multiple opportunities to visit yarn shops and fill our suitcases!

It's a perfect combination of rest, sightseeing and crafting. Small group on a ship of our own made me feel like on luxorious family vacation. Fiber Ambassadors, the crew and tour guides are very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this trip!

Wow; what a way to experience Scotland - sites, culture & exceptional hospitality. From petting Angora goats to learning about ancient sheep breeds, to hearing bagpipes & learning all about whiskey, this tour has it all. And you still find time to adopt some new fiber to feed your stash!

This trip to the Borders of Scotland showed us the rich and diverse history of the country from the Scottish Tapestry to the historical castles, and Scottish arts - from tartan and kilt making to cashmere and whiskey production. There was always knitting/fiber arts time planned, so it was very relaxing and pleasant. Day trips from Abbotsford Castle and Gardens make this the best RTTF trip, which I have been on. Cathy S.
