Mulberry Hill Farm Retreats
Did you ever wonder where your yarn comes from or have you wanted to learn a new fiber-related craft? Each retreat starts with a tour of the farm where you'll get to meet the resident sheep and chickens. Below are our retreat offerings. The full day retreats come with a light lunch or the option to bring your own.
Farm to Needle (Half Day)
Learn about how wool becomes yarn by observing videos or demos on how to shear, wash, card, spin and dye yarn. Then start a group project where you'll receive a skein of Distelfink Fiber's Farm-Raised yarn and a hat pattern of your choosing. Enjoy the rest of your time with us in our workshop to begin your new project!
Farm to Needle (Full Day)
Start your day learning about how wool is processed plus a tailored knitting workshop. We will provide a pattern of your project and you'll get to pick your skeins of yarn. You will have personal instruction and several hours of group time to learn, relax and have fun.
Fiber Arts (Half Day)
Learn about a variety of fiber arts and observe a demonstration of one of the following: Punchneedle (rug punch), Rug Hooking, Embroidery Punchneedle or Wool Applique. Following the demonstration you will have an opportunity to try it, then choose your own fiber art kit and enjoy the rest of your time starting your new project!
