Knitting Retreats

Ewe & Me Knitting Retreats, hosted by Three Sheep Gallery & Workshop, offer an extraordinary opportunity for knitters to immerse themselves in creativity, relaxation, and community. These exclusive retreats are thoughtfully planned, featuring guided projects with curated yarns and exquisite gifts for all participants.
Each year, the fall retreat is held locally in Ohio, providing the perfect setting for knitters to come together, learn, and relax. The spring retreat, however, takes participants to a breathtaking destination—next May, the retreat will take place in Alaska, where you can enjoy scenic beauty while knitting and connecting with fellow fiber enthusiasts.
These retreats aren't just about knitting, they’re about building friendships, sharing stories, and making memories in a serene and inspiring environment. For more information about upcoming retreats and to reserve your spot, visit the Three Sheep Gallery website
