WEBS Fall Knitting Retreat

We’ll be welcoming knitters to the beautiful Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts Thursday, September 19 through September 22, 2024, for our annual Fall Knitting Retreat. To facilitate your chances of getting into the Retreat, we’ve separated class registrations out to a later date. You’ll register for your retreat spot and hotel room first, and then your classes a few weeks after that. Click here to register for the WEBS Fall Knitting Retreat.

If you’ve been waiting to make that pilgrimage to America’s biggest yarn store, this is the perfect opportunity!! We’ll have classes, happy hours, shopping shuttles, and three glorious days of community, learning, and YARN. You can check out the details in our brochure here. Pricing includes lodging, all meals, all classes, shuttle transportation to your WEBS shopping spree, and all meal-time events hosted by our sponsors and partners.

Once you check into the Hotel UMass on the campus of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, we’ll pamper you with meals, snacks, late-night knitting fun, lots of classes with the most in-demand teachers in the fiber world, and an extra-special shopping trip just for attendees at WEBS. You can explore the beautiful campus, take a walk into town to see Amherst's unique businesses, or spend some quiet time knitting, and hopefully our famous Fall colors will be showing themselves when you arrive.

Our Fall Knitting Retreat brings you some of the industry’s hottest instructors to share their expertise. Ana Campos, Beth Brown-Reinsel, Cecelia Campchiaro, Kim McBrian Evans, Margaret Radcliffe, and Nina Machlin Dayton will be here to help you take your knitting to the next level.

On Saturday, you’ll enjoy an exclusive trip to WEBS for a little fiber therapy and a chance to get some advice on your next project from our fabulous sponsors! A shuttle will take attendees for a special shopping spree at WEBS - America’s Yarn Store. The best part of this expedition? Whatever you buy will get FREE SHIPPING! No need to worry about your new stash fitting into your suitcase, because we'll get it to your doorstep for you.

On Sunday, make sure you leave a little extra time before you travel home to explore the beautiful downtown Northampton area. Our unique location between 5 major universities and many smaller colleges give our shopping area and restaurants an eclectic edge that makes Northampton stand out. Have a late lunch, browse our many clothing boutiques and local artisan galleries, and leave with wonderful memories, new friends made, and a resolve to join us for our next Knitting Retreat!!
