About this trip

Pack your project bag and polish your sleuthing skills—something woolly this way comes! It's time to follow the thread on a devilishly delightful knitting adventure through the English countryside. Our Merry Band of Travelers will roam from London’s elegance to the cozy corners of Devon and Cornwall, where yarns aren’t the only things spun. Stay in storybook settings, wander moody gardens, tour castle ruins perched on cliffs, and visit woolly wonders from Blacker Yarns to Wool on the Exe. Each day brings new clues and scenic delights, with a mystery unspooling stitch by stitch. Expect High Tea, heritage sheep, seaside walks, and perhaps… a touch of treachery. Your needles are your tools. Your pattern is a puzzle. And the game is afoot—cast on carefully!

Itinerary

Day 1 Sunday, April 19
Reading - Innocent...For now

 The game begins as you arrive in London, where the fog hangs heavy with secrets and the whisper of a nefarious plot. Your first challenge is to make your way by train to Reading, and settle in at our charmingly upscale hotel where everything feels just right. The day is free for rest or optional local exploration—perhaps a quiet Thames-side walk or a visit to the storied ruins of Reading Abbey. We reconvene in the late afternoon for High Tea at the hotel. Here, you'll receive your Yarn Kit, carefully assembled to prepare you for the days ahead. The mystery begins tomorrow—but tonight, enjoy the calm before the clues.
