Come with us to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, as we explore this portion of The Canadian Maritimes! We will visit farms and mills highlighting the vibrant fibre production in the region today, from wool to alpaca and even linen! Of course, we will have to pay homage to resident literary figure, Anne of Green Gables, while on Prince Edward Island, and we will have plenty of time to walk on it's famous red sand beaches, and visit local artisan shops. Rug hooking is the region's most traditional craft, and we will have the option to try our hand at it in a small project with a woolly twist! When we head to Nova Scotia, we will explore its history as well as its fibre, from the Mi'kmaq people and the Arcadians, to The Citadel in Halifax and the Maritimes Museum. Accommodation will be in grand old inns and characterful cottages, all within view of the ever present ocean. We will have a workshop on the magical wooliness of thrumming before starting on a knitalong project with local yarn.
