Join Sara and Rowan expert Sarah Daly for a full weekend of knitting, chat and fun in the beautiful village of Lymm in Cheshire. Each retreats runs over three days.
Staying at the wonderful Statham Lodge, a family run, grade 2 listed Georgian Manor House for three nights, a VIP visit to Black Sheep Wools and private dining in our favourite local pub, it promises to be a weekend to remember.
Each guest will get a luxury knitting kit that contains a special Black Sheep project and goody bag.
There are a limited number of places for each retreat. We have rooms for single and twin occupancy available.
