Iceland wool adventure: Trip recap
Our Iceland Wool Adventure started and ended in Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, where guests had time to explore the city at their leisure. We then traveled along the southern road, visiting a wool mill, natural dyes studio and home knitting studio in the Selfoss area, before heading deeper into the country for scenic nature experiences and late-night knitting sessions. Read the journal post for our full trip recap.
