Why These Trips Are Perfect for You

This isn’t just a trip—it’s an experience crafted (pun intended) for yarn lovers. We’ll explore each country's sites, culture, landscapes, and more, all while diving into the world of crochet and creating friendships to last a lifetime. No crafting experience is necessary, and the workshops are optional, so feel free to bring a friend or spouse along! The pricing for each trip is listed on Craftours, but you can contact them directly at info@craftours.com or call 877-887-1188 for more information and custom accommodations!

What Makes These Trips Special?

Craftours is known for creating unforgettable travel experiences, and these tours are no exception. With carefully planned activities and accommodations, you can relax and focus on what you love: crochet and adventure. We'll have a professional Craftours tour manager taking care of us on every step, and I'll be there to guide you, spend time with you, share tips, and maybe even teach you a new favorite stitch or two.

And that's not all - I've got to add the Moogly Touch!

We'll Get Ready Together: In the months leading up to the trip, we'll have our own Facebook group to chat about the trip! I'll share my best travel tips and information on what you'll want to bring. It's a wonderful chance to connect with your fellow travelers and start making plans.

I'll Bring the Kits: I will put together a new pattern and all the yarn you need to make it - and bring it along on the trip for you! All you need to bring is your hook - I'll let you know what size of hook when we got closer to the dates! Don't worry - I keep it small so you'll have plenty of room for souvenirs!
