Imagine waking up somewhere beautiful, enjoying a leisurely breakfast and then settling down with your wheel and a basket of lovely fibres.

Perhaps you are learning a new technique.

Perhaps you are finally tackling something you've always wanted to try.

Perhaps you are sitting beside another spinner, chatting about yarn while your wheel quietly turns.

There might be a fascinating talk, an opportunity to explore a particular breed of sheep or fibre, a walk outside, a shared meal or an evening spent simply talking about all things wool.

And there is always that wonderful moment when someone says:

“Look what I've made!”

That sense of discovery, sharing and friendship is at the heart of every retreat.

A chance to press pause.

Life can be wonderfully full — but sometimes we need to step away from it.

Our retreats give you the chance to put everyday responsibilities aside for a while and immerse yourself in something you love.

You don't have to achieve anything.

You don't have to be an expert spinner.

You don't even have to arrive knowing exactly what you want to learn.

Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and allow yourself to be inspired.

You may go home with new skills, new ideas and some beautiful yarn.

You may also go home feeling rested, re-energised and already looking forward to the next one.
