rhinebeck extravaganza

Rowan Tree provided us with carefully orchestrated event planning, excellent food choices and hotels. Hosts were aware that some of us did not fancy long walks loaded down with yarn purchases, and made transportation easy and reliable. They really went above and beyond to be sure we had a lovely week.

Wonderful variety of activities shared with fellow fiber lovers. Small group size allows the cultivation of lasting friendships and more personal experiences than often provided on tours.

Rowan Tree provides a great well thought out travel experience. That your travels are steeped with generous fiber opportunities, great local food, charming accommodations, and the opportunity to make life long friends just takes it over the top. I loved it all! Thank you, ladies!!

I have traveled twice with Rowan Tree Travel. On both occasions I found the head of the trip was very helpful and knowledgeable, and friendly. The accommodations have always been lovely, clean, and comfortable. I love having the opportunity to learn about the country and their crafting. Always a great time with good people.

What a wonderful introduction to Iceland’s history, geology, and knitting culture! I appreciated traveling around the country, and especially having Icelandic sagas and folktales read to us on the bus. As usual for RTT, meals and hotels were stellar, and there was a good mix of wool-related stops and scenic or historical sites. Our guides were knowledgeable and fun, and I appreciated their flexible approach to each day’s plans. I can’t wait for my next trip with Rowan Tree Travel! I’m a customer for life!

This tour was the perfect balance of sites, interesting local women entrepreneurs to meet, an great group on the tour (interesting, engaged, curious, friendly), and our guides did a great job. I was impressed with Rowan Travel!

I can't praise the makers of this tour enough. Our experiences were quite varied: we visited castles as well as farms and many places in between, and all were thoroughly enjoyable. Hearing from farmers, dyers, and other members of the textile world in Scotland was inspiring. The tour felt thoughtfully laid out - rich with experiences but laced through with free time to wander, process, knit, and create new friendships. I fell in love with Scotland and with Rowan Tree Travel!

I was a solo traveler and felt very comfortable in the like-minded group. Rowan Tree and Ambassador Colleen made the trip easy and very pleasurable. A lovely experience for replenishing your stash!

Meeting with local fiber ambassadors really makes you learn and feel a part of the country you’re visiting. And of course the yarn shopping!

My first visit to Iceland & it has been amazing! An excellent mix of fiber-related activities and cultural activities. And we got to see the aurora borealis on 4 or 5 different nights!!

This was my first time traveling with a tour group. I highly recommend Rowan Tree Travel for fiber enthusiasts and even non enthusiasts. My husband, who is a non knitter, thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Rowan Tree provides great value for the money. I will be traveling with them again.

This is a yarn lover's dream tour, in which you learn all about Icelandic wool and have plenty of opportunity to buy it. It is well paced and balanced with visits to non-yarn related sites and activities so I felt that I experienced Iceland. My non-knitting husband loved the tour, as well.
