Edel's Wool Shop

Knitting Travel

Good news travels far and in 2014 a Linen Guild from Norway asked to visit us and learn more about our Irish Knitting and Design Skills at the studio. We had such a great time with these like-minded Linen textile enthusiasts that we hoped to meet more and started looking. A New World opened up of International visitors who were passionate about learning local knitting techniques and hearing our textile history firsthand.

To date Edel’s has delivered a class on Aran knitting techniques to hundreds of visitors from over fifteen countries. Almost every USA State and every Canadian province and territory has visited. Visitors from Australia, Mexico, Sweden, Syria, Italy, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain and beyond have signed the visitors book. On one occasion three generations of a family travelled together to knit with us. If you are passionate about genuine crafts, knitting, crochet, wool, spinning and weaving then Donegal and the North West Region of Ireland is a must visit region. While here you may adventure further, maybe to the Aran Islands or beyond for a class or two. Decide whether an action-packed multi-stop trip is for you or a more relaxed retreat hosted by Edel at the Manor House, Enniskillen. A retreat is a great choice if travelling alone as you will build lasting friendships and fully experience our fine food offerings and spectacular scenery.  

For more information contact us and Edel will be happy to give you further information or help curate your Irish visit.
