There’s still a little winter left before we get to enjoy the spring - what better time to spend a weekend in the Zoom where it happens at a YarnSmarts Yarn Lovers Retreat?
Join us February 26 - March 1, 2026, from the comfort of your own crafting space to have your creativity sparked by some of the hottest teachers in our yarn-loving community! There’s a little something for everyone from sweaters, shawls and cowlettes to buttons, beads, mitered squares, mosaic knitting, finishing and, of course, a bit of crochet!
Whether you want to take four, three or two classes, there’s a perfect package level for you to choose from and they all come with your ticket to all of the fun events and guest appearances throughout the weekend! You’ll even get a goodie bag from us to help spark your creativity!! We can't wait to see you there!

What our attendees are saying about the
Yarn Lovers Late Fall Retreat:
- "The inaugural YarnSmarts retreat was one of the best retreats (in person or virtual) that I've attended. The guest speakers were awesome, the classes were great, and Beth did a wonderful job guiding the ship through sometimes turbulent waters. I'm already looking forward to the next retreat!" - Anonymous
​
- "Beth really knows how to throw a great yarn party! She blended her deep experience and connections in the fiber world to offer a thoughtful mix of classes, casual conversations, and wonderful presentations. The atmosphere was so supportive and inviting, and the YarnSmarts community she’s building is enthusiastic, friendly, and full of great people!" -JS
