Knitting Retreat 18-19.10.2025

Guided by knitting author and JonSukkie designer Jonna Kalliomäki.

Tavoitteena on aikaansaada hyvää oloa ja mieluisaa mieltä itselle ja muille samankaltaisille neulonnan harrastajille. Toki neulominen on tärkeä osa retriittiä, mutta Suomen parhaana matkailukohteena palkittu ja vastuullisen matkailun kärkitoimijan tarjonta tekee retriittistä monelle aivan uudenlaisen kokemuksen.

Experience doesn't matter, as long as you have enough enthusiasm, because both experienced and beginners will surely find something fun to do and learn something new. Wild food delicacies conjured up by award-winning island hostesses and fishing hosts offer participants new experiences and more excitement for their hobby. In the evening, enjoy the gentle steam baths of the Maasavusauna and relax in the warm water pools of the Kaislikko Spa.

JonSukat:

The guide is knitting author and JonSukkie designer Jonna Kalliomäki. During the retreat, you will knit short embroidered socks using Jonna's new pattern designed specifically for Herrankukkaro's 2025 retreats.
