Our first ever Black Sheep retreat was a roaring success. We had a fabulous time knitting, chatting and lots of gorgeous food and laughs. We enjoyed it so much, we are doing it all over again at the end of February! Join Sara and our knitting and Rowan Yarns expert Sarah Daly for a full weekend of knitting, chat and fun in the beautiful village of Lymm in Cheshire. The weekend runs from Thursday 22nd – 25th February 2024.
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 another 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 this retreat and they will go on sale on at 10am on 30th November. We have rooms for single occupancy and twin rooms available.
