What our attendees are saying about our Retreats:

​

"The YarnSmarts Virtual Retreat feels like a warm hug! The classes, chats and events are curated with impressive range and variety; I learned several brand-new techniques and had a great time throughout. The Retreat made me feel like I belong, and feel connected to the wide and inspiring fiber arts community." -Heather O. 

"This was my second YarnSmarts retreat, and I loved it so much! The combination of interesting and unique classes and wonderful conversations with guests and teachers have made both experiences absolutely inspiring. I am already looking forward to my next retreat with Beth, and can't thank her enough for giving us the opportunity to have these experiences."  - Joan F.​

"I had an absolutely fantastic weekend, learning alongside a group of virtual knitters.This experience was thoughtful, inspiring, and incredibly well organized. I left feeling energized, creatively recharged, and connected to a wonderful community. I would absolutely recommend it."  - Lori M

​

​"This was my first retreat, and I loved it! Very well organized and thought out, easy itinerary to follow and the teachers were fantastic. I was a little concerned going into it that it may not hold my interest being virtual, but that was unfounded. All the speakers were great, and there was solid interaction, Beth kept everything running smoothly and you can see she's really passionate about providing a wonderful experience! Looking forward to the next one!"  -Tori Y

​

"I can recommend YarnSmarts as a way to immerse yourself in your fiber craft. I have found the selection of classes to be comprehensive and the teachers caring and supportive. I just attended a weekend retreat, which was superb from start to finish. I find Beth to be both organized and deeply caring about creating great experiences."  - Maria B.

"These are high quality retreats with the best in the industry. No matter what your level, you can learn great skills and get inspiration from in depth interaction with outstanding teachers and guests."

"YarnSmarts offers wonderful opportunities to learn more about fiber craft and add new tools to your toolbox. Online classes with instructors and other participants in the comfort of my home are enjoyable, and the retreat was both educational and fun."  -  J.S.

​

"I enjoyed the camaraderie among the students and among the students and instructors/guest speakers. I didn't expect that with a remote retreat and it was a very nice surprise. I am new to YS and I felt connected to everyone as soon as I logged in. Next time, I'm going to ask for names and contact info so I can connect with some of the students. YS has quality classes, speakers and instructors. SIGN ME UP FOR SEPT-26."  - Anonymous

​

"The YarnSmarts community is so welcoming, an especially desirable trait for those of us whose LYS are few and/or at a far distance. Creativity, inspiration, and information are a highlight of the offered classes and retreats!"  - Anonymous
