Take your time to learn everything you need to know to approach knitting a successful sweater. This class is designed to be by your side from choosing fiber to the last ends woven in on a sweater that will fit you well and make you feel great wearing it. The generous timeline allows for plenty of relaxed knitting as you go step by step through the process of making your sweater. Along the way you will learn skills and discernment that will build your confidence for all the garments in your future. Sign ups for this class can be found by clicking here

Stitching Story Bags: October 6, 2025: A Slowfiber Wishbone Retreat Day in Monterey, CA
Jaki Canterbury of slowfiber has been stitching stories for most of her life. Her slowfiber space in Monterey contains a world of vintage, reuse, recycled and special treasure materials just waiting to manifest themselves into our own story stitched bags. Lily Turner of Wishbone Yarns in South Africa is joining Jaki to help us create our own unique bags from gathered materials in this relaxing day of collage, collaboration and creation at the historic hacienda Casa Munras in Monterey. October is a wonderful time of the year on the coast of California. The weather is fair and warm and the crowds have subsided. There’s so much to do and see from a base in Monterey. We hope you can join us - and make a weekend of it perhaps to explore all that the Monterey Peninsula has to offer.
Updates and sign ups coming soon.
