Register your interest for Cocoknits in France
24 September - 1 October 2026 (provisional)
We’re in the process of putting together a knitting retreat with Cocoknits in the Gers, a beautiful area 1.5 hrs west of Toulouse in southwest France.
We’re still working on the content but over the 8 night/9 day retreat we plan to include:
five full days knitting tuition with Cocoknits’ founder Julie Weisenberger and expert knitter Tracy Russell
8 nights’ accommodation in Lectoure, a pretty town famous for its antique shops, thermal spa and point of rest for pilgims on the Compostella route
All meals and wine except for one lunch and one dinner at guest cost. Includes a meal at a local restaurant
A wine and armagnac tasting at an aware-winning vineyard
A natural dye session with a local specialist in botanical dyes
Excurion to Les Jardins de Coursiana gardens in La Romieu
We’re working on making a connection with a local supplier of yarn so this has yet to be confirmed. If you like the sound of this retreat please register your interest by completing the Register your Interest from. Once we have the details of the retreat confirmed we will open bookings and email you with the full details.
We hope to see you in France in 2026!
Julie, Tracy and Lizzie
