Brioche and Wintery Ranch Retreat with Bristol Ivy - April 2024

$1,100.00

Registration is open! We can't wait to host our April 2024 Brioche and Wintery Ranch Retreat here in the Colorado Rockies with Bristol Ivy. Please read our recent blog post for all the details then come back here to register.

Our retreat is limited to 13 participants. Pricing is per person, based on the sleeping accommodation you choose -- from $1,100 - $1,600 per person. This includes all lessons, two nights lodging, meals at the Ranch, snacks, and transport to and from shop to the Ranch. 

Our adventure will take place high in the Flat Tops of western Colorado from Thursday, April 11th  - Saturday, April 13, 2023. We'll enjoy retreating to Wind Dance Ranch, a private ranch on 750 acres above Dotsero, CO. We are very excited to have Bristol Ivy join us to teach both Introduction to Brioche and Next Level Brioche over three sessions. 

For two nights and three days, surrounded by stunning snowy mountain vistas, we will knit, relax, and explore the vast, serene property with friends. 

Bristol Ivy is a knitting designer, teacher, and author from Bangor, Maine. Her work has been published in numerous periodicals and she has taught around the world. 

Brioche is an easy stitch that creates a lush, drapey, warm fabric. With Bristol, we’ll first learn the basic principles of flat brioche, then how to make your brioche seamless, how to incorporate two colors in the round, and how to work two colors flat.  Experience needed: knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, working in the round.

You will have ample opportunity to kick back, share stories, eat great food, relax and keep your needles moving, or snowshoe, AT Ski, or cross country ski in the peaceful surroundings. There's hot-tubbing and a firepit too!
