Authentic 3 Hour Knitting Club Experience
Treat yourself to the joy of knitting with a local Faroese knitter. As a 20th generation Faroe Islander, your host will introduce you to the local knitting culture and teach you how to knit. If you are already a skilled knitter, make sure to also experience this tranquil activity.
The Faroe Islands has a strong knitting tradition. This is your chance to join a local knitting club in a cozy house and shop in KvÃvÃk. You will spend some quality time with fantastic views.
Your host will greet you in the doorstep and invite you inside. Now, start knitting with expert guidance. This experience can be done by both those who are new to knitting needles and those seasoned knitters. This Knitting Club suits all levels of experience. Together with your host, you will chose patterns and colours.
Novice knitters will knit as scarf with guidance form the local host. More experienced knitters will knit a hat.
Knitting needles, yarn and pattern are included in the price. During the course you will learn about Faroese culture and see examples of Faroese knitting. Like any Faroese knitting club, this activity is sociable. You will listen, talk about knitting and enjoy coffee, tea, and cake.
Your host is particularly fascinated by Faroese knitting culture, knitting patterns and how the old patterns can be deconstructed and used today. Most women in the Faroe Islands spend time in a knitting club. Same goes for your host which has been in the same knitting club for 40 years.
Once it is time to say goodbye, you will take home your project and pattern. In case you need any further assistance weeks or months after this experience, feel free to contact your knitting friend in the Faroe Islands! She will make sure that your knitting project becomes a finished article for you to use and enjoy.

I had the most wonderful time learning to knit with Súsanna back in August! She was such an amazing teacher – incredibly patient, kind, knowledgeable and gave excellent instruction. The tea, treats, and friendly conversation could not have been better. The shop alone is worth visiting, as is KvÃvÃk itself. This was definitely a highlight of our trip to the Faroes and I would highly recommend this knitting experience to anyone interested. I cannot thank you enough for this incredible experience!

I had the best experience during the 3-hour knitting club. Susanna is very welcoming and kind. She is a great teacher and has shown me how to use traditional Faroese colorwork. She also told me a lot about life in the Faroe Islands.
I would totally recommend anyone (both newbie and experienced knitter) to attend the knitting club! It is truly wonderful!

I had a lovely evening with Susanna talking about wool, knitting, patterns, and every day Faroese life. Since I am an experienced knitter the knitting conversation jumped straight into the structures of traditional Faroese garments, including the slippers I chose to make, preferred techniques, and swapping favorite tricks. The homemade coffee cake and rhubarb triffle made the best go-with.

We had a great time with Susanna. It was an interesting evening. We learned so much about life in the Faroes from her. She was very patient with her explanation. The coffee and deserts provided were tasty. I would recommend to anyone to visit Susanna’s shop and learn how to knit. Thank you for your time and patience!

My husband & I had an unforgettable morning with Susanna. Not only did we knit with beautiful local yarn but we also enjoyed delicious cakes, tea & coffee. All the while gaining insight from Susanna about Faroese culture, language, traditions & the history of Faroese knitting. She also gave us too tips on sights to visit. If you’d like a memorable Faroese experience, this is a MUST! Takk fyri Susanna.

I spent a wonderful afternoon with Susanna. She was warm, welcoming and kind. I had no previous experience but in our short time together I was starting to get the hang of the basics. She served coffee, cake and delicious chocolates. It was such a treat to spend time in her fantastic shop. This is a must do activity when in the Faroe Islands!
