This is our first ever Black Sheep Retreat and we are so excited! We will be staying at the beautiful, family run Statham Lodge Hotel in the picture box village of Lymm, a few miles from our Craft Barn. The retreat is designed to be a relaxing weekend of knitting and chat with Sara and our knitting expert Juliet Bernard.

Bring it with you and get expert advice on any issues.
