Fiber Arts Retreat at the Forest — Forest of Peace

We’re delighted to welcome this gathering back for everyone who loves fiber arts.

Knitters, crocheters, embroiderers, spinners, and anyone who works with yarn, thread, needles, hooks, or other fiber arts tools is invited to join.

This restful weekend offers space to learn from fellow crafters, enjoy “knit and natter” time in the Forest living room or the Community Center, and soak in the beauty of a spring weekend at the Forest of Peace.

All skill levels are welcome, including complete beginners.

Bring a friend and share a cabin for the weekend.
