Kathy Brassill, owner of Handcrafted Holidays, has compiled an excellent resource book for those like to combine their passion for fibre with their vacation. This edition focuses on travel in Great Britain and Ireland. Kathy has travelled extensively throughout the region and gives in-depth info on what you will find on your holiday.
This 48 page book is compact and well organized. Each place that you can visit lists the address, contact name, telephone number, email and website info and a brief description of what you will find there.

Because we can’t all jump on the next plane and go, (though reading through this guide, I’m ready to pack my bags) here is a brief web tour of some of the sites.

As you can see, fibre is alive and well in the U.K. To find out more about this book and all the other places you can visit, you can contact Kathy Brassill at:
