Guided by knitwear author and favorite designer Niina Laitinen.
Join us for the Knitting Retreat on July 12–13, 2025, where you will be inspired, learn new things, and enjoy the peace of knitting in a beautiful archipelago landscape. The retreat will be led by beloved knitwear designer and knitting writer Niina Laitinen, who will lead you into the world of wool socks and creative knitting. Experience doesn't matter, as long as you have enough enthusiasm!
For the Herrankukkaro Knitting Retreat, Niina has designed completely new knitting instructions that you won't find anywhere else – at least not yet. During the weekend, Niina will guide participants into the world of knitting techniques, share tips for mastering cross-stitch knitting, and inspire with stories about the background of her design work.
Neulomisen lisäksi pääset nauttimaan Herrankukkaron ainutlaatuisista palveluista. Iltasauna perinteisessä savusaunassa, lämpimät ulkoaltaat, virkistävä meri ja kiireetön saaristotunnelma tekevät viikonlopusta täydellisen hemmotteluhetken. Tarjolla on myös saaristolaisruokaa, joka hemmottelee makuhermoja paikallisilla herkuilla. Majoitus Herrankukkaron persoonallisissa tiloissa takaa tunnelmallisen ja levollisen yön. Hyvä palvelu, kiireetön ilmapiiri ja luonnonläheisyys tekevät tästä retriitistä enemmän kuin vain neulekurssin.
