Ireland Knitting Escape

7 Night Knitting Retreat

Join Más Travelled as we venture from Dublin to Kilkenny Ireland on a knitting centered retreat. We’ll be immersing ourselves in all things knit—from sheep farms to woolen mills and yarn shops. We made sure to sprinkle in a few non-knitting activities as well—such as falconry walks, picnics, and castle visits. With daily knitting happy hours, you’ll wind down each day while working on your current WIP with a beverage of choice in hand—all while you recap your Irish adventures with your new found knit-loving friends.

October 12 - 19, 2025 | $4,000 per person
