Welcome to Yarn Cupboard

Retreat 2019.

Our annual retreat will be held the weekend of May 3rd at the Genesse Grand Hotel, Syracuse. Friday night's opening reception (with cash bar) you will meet Shellie Anderson, Shel designs, who has wonderful patterns for Shibui and Woolfolk, and Sandy Barnes, marketing director for Shibui knits. On Saturday Shellie will begin the day with her technique class for cast ons and bind offs such as tubular cast ons. Shibui and Woolfolk use more complicated cast ons and edgings. This will have you ready for your next project! Lunch will be served and then the afternoon class will be an advanced finishing class. Never fear set in sleeves again! That evening Shellie will be in the lecture hall talking about her design process and career. Room bookings are directly with the hotel and the Yarn Cupboard rate is $119 and you could double up with 2 beds. Please tell them you are with our group. Please call us to book in for the classes, lecture, reception and lunch at $200. Spaces are limited. 45 only.
