Cocoknits in Tuscany, Italy

Join us in northern Tuscany for an 8-night/9 day ‘terroir' knitting retreat from 6-14 June 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.
