Knitting Retreat 10/2026

THE COURSE IS CURRENTLY FULL, WE ARE ACCEPTING REGISTRATIONS FOR WAITLISTS

Welcome to the knitting retreat, where stitches flow, calming the mind. The retreat is suitable for both beginners and more experienced knitters. During the retreat, everyone knits their own projects; bring your own needles and yarns. If needed, you can ask for advice on acquiring these in advance.

You can choose the theme of the retreat yourself: the community of knitting, finding calm, or learning a new skill. Minna will guide you to the craft and skill, if you want to improve your expertise or get started in the world of knitting. Whether you have a wool sock, a sweater, a scarf, or other knitwear in mind, you can create it at the retreat. At the retreat, you will also get to know various traditional knitwear, knitting techniques, and knitting traditional patterns. Valamo's peace and the monastery environment offer a unique opportunity to focus on doing and being present.

Instructor is knitwear designer and passionate knitter Minna Hele.
