Interested in hosting your own knitting retreat?
We have created a 2 day knitting retreat which can be adapted to fit a variety of venues, group sizes & projects. Simply choose your project and additional activities and we can fit sessions around your plans. Prices include up to 12 hours of teaching
Knitting retreats can be organised by venues or guests and are ideal for hotels, b&bs or self-catered accommodation - all that is required is a space to seat all attending. Please ensure your venue is happy to host before booking.
Please note - prices listed are for workshops (inc materials & patterns) only. Venues are welcome to add accomodation/meal prices to build their own package
