crochet and knitting retreat in the Italian alps
Four days of crafting, sipping on hot chocolate, chatting with likeminded people, and slowing down. Set in a charming small town surrounded by beautiful autumn colours and fresh mountain air. Think Gilmore Girls in South-Tyrol :)

knit & crochet
in the Italian alps
Join us for a cozy crafts retreat this autumn. We’ll spend our days knitting and crocheting, eating nourishing food, stretching our bodies with some morning yoga, visiting a local wool factory, and learning something new with a special metal clay workshop where we’ll create our own bracelets.
This retreat is beginner friendly :). You just need to know how to do a knit+purl stitch or a single+double crochet stitch.
the location
Located in the historic village of Tisens, next to apple fields, forests and mountains franz&mathilde is the perfect setting for our craft club.
Share a room with a friend or choose to have some well deserved alone time.
the food
All food will be local, homemade, and vegetarian.
Philipp from franz&mathilde will provide us with a breakfast buffet and specialty coffee, while Laura from brout&klea will prepare a nourishing lunch and dinner.
Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions and we’ll be happy to accommodate you!

As we want you to have enough time to settle in, arrival is possible from 10 am. The official start of the retreat will be at 5 pm. We’ll get to know each other, share food together and start our craft club :) .
-
Each morning we’ll have a yoga session to wake up the body, followed by breakfast together.
Our days are spent crafting, chatting, and enjoying the autumn colours. On Saturday we’ll visit a local wool factory.
Evenings are calm and slow with shared dinners and lots of time for resting, reading, more crafting, and maybe even some stargazing. -
No stress, check-out whenever you want :)
We’ll have a final yoga session, followed by a big brunch and some final crafting.
