What's Included
When was the last time you did something just for yourself? It's probably longer ago than you think.
​
Our retreat will be the perfect place to come to escape and restore your equillibrium, to relax, sit and knit or crochet, eating great food together with other people who want to do just that. And you will have the stunning coastline and bustling town on your doorstep if you want some bracing fresh air, or want to brave a winter swim. This retreat is located in one of the most scenic places along the Cornish Coast and is for 4 nights all inclusive.
​​
01
Tuition
There will be expert knitters and crocheters on hand to help you with your projects, and if they don't know the answer (they will), someone in the group will jump in to help or share their experience.
​
On some of our 4 night retreats we will work on a specific project or technique over the week with expert instruction.
03
Knitting and Chatting
You will be in for a wonderful few days dedicated to you and your yarnie project.
You can also visit the shop to stock up on supplies
