Cocoknits in Devon, UK

Come away with us on our 8 night/9 day (Friday 9/12 - Saturday 9/20 2025) knitting adventure to Devon, which includes a 7 night stay in a glamorous seaside property in Salcombe and one night in the Georgian spa city of Bath.

We meet in Bath and travel by coach to the Natural Fibre Co, experts in fibre processing and the only British company that spins both wool and worsted yarns. After a fascinating mill tour where you’ll see how raw fleeces are turned into yarn, we’ll go next door to Blacker Yarns where you’ll find a wide selection of yarns including a special edition range from sheep raised in Cornwall. Julie Weisenberger and Tracy Russell will be on hand to advise and guide you on the best yarn to purchase for your Cocoknits sweater project.

From Blacker Yarns we travel by coach to our home for the week: The Moult, an iconic pink house perched on a clifftop overlooking South Sands bay and beyond to Salcombe.

You’ll choose your Cocoknits pattern in advance from your copy of the Cocoknits Sweater Workshop or a downloadable pdf. With 5 days’ learning from Julie and Tracy included in the retreat you’ll have time to make real progress on your knitting project. Fun excursions planned during the week include lunch at the award-winning Winking Prawn, a visit to Overbeck’s, a tropical garden bursting with colour and exotic plants, and a day trip to Salcombe by sea tractor and ferry.
