Cocoknits in Tuscany, Italy

Join us in northern Tuscany for an 8-night/9 day ‘terroir' knitting retreat from 10/24-11/1, 2025.  We'll meet in Florence and travel by coach to Prato to meet Borgo de’ Pazzi owner, Carlo Signori, and you’ll choose the yarn for your Cocoknits Method project from a range of 100% natural recycled yarn. 

We'll spend our first night at the Montecatini Palace Hotel in Montecatini Terme, a thermal spa destination popular since the time of Ancient Rome. After breakfast the following day we take the historic funicular dating from 1898 up to Montecatini Alto, a charming medieval hilltop village with sweeping views over the valley, nice restaurants, and independent shops. Following lunch and a look around, we continue onto our home for the week, Villa Boccella and the Dependence, two classic Tuscan villas standing side by side in a private 50 acre estate. In addition to lovely day trips from the villas, you'll receive 4 and a half days of lessons and guidance as you create your Cocoknits Method garment.
