From the 19th to the 21st of October Iverness, Scotland, hosted the third annual Loch Ness Fest, which has already become a cult event in the world of needlework. The extensive program included more than 30 seminars and lessons by famous artisans. Interesting lessons could be chosen by experienced hand-made artisans and by beginners in knitting, and the producers of wool and yarn presented their best products.

The event carries not only practical value — a lot of attention is paid to the culture and the history of Scotland: there were vicinity excursions, traditional cuisine and folk music.
