Ryan was a great experience leader! He picked a cool spot in city center Dublin and provided us with all the materials to make our very own Aran Scarf. He provided a detailed history of this style of knitting and helped us through the pattern. Could not recommend more!! This was exactly what I was looking for and I would suggest this for beginners all the way to advanced knitters due to the history being told and the one-on-one support Ryan provided.

This was my favorite experience I’ve ever booked through Airbnb. Ryan is a deeply knowledgeable knitter, designer, and historian, and is warm, encouraging, and funny all at once. I had never touched knitting needles before, but walked away with both a tangible start to a real Aran scarf and what felt like a college course’s worth of Irish textile history.

The experience was rooted in Ireland’s cultural heritage and Ryan’s passion is contagious. He tailored the lesson to our skill levels, stepping in to help and advise when needed, and taught the meaning and history woven into every pattern. He provided all materials including locally sourced yarn, and followed up after the class with additional resources/suggestions for where to find Irish wool and more Aran patterns. If you’re in Dublin and want to do something authentic, local, creative, and meaningful, take Ryan's class.

I only had time to do one thing in Dublin and I’m so glad I chose this!! Ryan was a really good teacher and taught us a lot about the history and importance of Aran knitting. I can’t believe he made something so complicated so easy! I can’t recommend this enough!

Ryan Daniel was excellent! We had a great time and learned a lot about the history of Aran patterns and were able to learn how to get started with some. He gave us plenty of take home instructions. We highly recommend this class.
