Join Gudrun Johnston, the acclaimed Shetland-born knitwear designer as she takes you on an adventure to these remote islands in Scotland. Gudrun will share her passion for Shetland’s knitting heritage, the unique wool produced on the islands, and her personal journey in the world of knitwear design. Discover the fascinating stories behind the patterns and techniques that have been passed down through generations, and learn how Gudrun’s own designs pay homage to this storied tradition. This is perfect for anyone interested in the history and evolution of knitting, as well as those keen to gain a deeper understanding of Shetland’s influence on contemporary knitwear.

There will plenty of shopping time after the talk with Gudrun on hand to help you pick out your yarns.
