⚘ Retreats and workshops ⚘

• This retreat has a knitting focus, but you can bring any hand-craft you'd like to work on. There's a suggested colourwork sock pattern by In Her Skein
• A willow weaving workshop in the house's little woodland - making a woven yarn platter
• A colourwork knitting workshop, and talk on natural dyes
• Options for rambles in the surrounding countryside
• Saturday night midsummer feast by the fire
• Fibre Folk storytelling event by the fireside, with professional storyteller Hannah Moore
• Nourishing homecooked food - lunch Fri-Sun and dinner on  Thursday and Saturday included with all tickets. On Friday night, you can explore the restaurants of Stroud, or cosy up in a local Cotswold pub.

Throughout the retreat there will be plenty of time and space by the fire to cosy up with your knitting, stitching or a book. You'll also have early access to my late summer yarn collection!

Dormitory rooms

Excitingly, Lucia is now offering a shared dormitory space in her spacious loft - the old servants' quarters for the house! The room is open plan and shaped as a large 'L' - on one side there is a double bed with a small kitchen counter, sink and kettle. On the other side are two single camp beds (very cosy, I promise). 

In between the beds there is a cosy central sitting area. You'll be using the shared family bathroom on the floor below, and the dormitory space is up two flights of (historic!) staircases. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues or who finds stairs tricky. Watch this video from our last retreat to see how the stairs start in the room.

Local to Stroud?

There will also be two non-residential places if you'd prefer to stay at your home and join us for the day activities and the Saturday night Fibre Folk evening.
