THE KNIT RETREAT
In The Heart Of South Korea
January 18 - 22, 2027
Come for the knitting. Stay for the people.
The Knit Retreat is a community of makers who'd rather create together than alone. We gather in beautiful places for slow days and shared projects, and the friendships you make stay with you long after you're home. All welcome, wherever you are in your making.

Snow on old rooftops, frost-quiet mornings and warm cafés to duck into, this is Korea at its most still and beautiful.

Home for the week is Hotel Naru, high above the Han River where the lobby opens on the 20th floor to water and sky, contemporary rooms hushed in soft lines and Korean art while Seoul glitters below.

Days spent knitting alongside Korean makers and trying crafts you can only learn where they began, from silk knotting to hand-painted ceramics.

A small group of knitters, slow mornings and long evenings of needles and low chat, and friendships that carry on long after you fly home.

What to Expect
Learn From Local Hands
Every retreat takes you into the craft of the place you're in, taught by the makers who live it. Silk knotting, weaving, hand-painted ceramics, whatever the region is known for, you'll try it yourself and come home knowing something new.
Luxury Stays
We hand-pick beautiful, design-led places to stay, the kind that feel like a treat in themselves. Every stay is part of the experience, chosen for comfort, character and quiet indulgence, so you rest as richly as you create.
Places Worth the Journey
Go beyond the knitting, out into the landmarks, markets and hidden corners that make a place worth the trip. There's always time to explore slowly, wander at your own pace, and knit somewhere you'll never forget.
Find Your People
You'll arrive not knowing a soul and leave with a group chat that never quite goes quiet. Knitters from all over and every level, brought together by the same quiet love of making something by hand.
Knit Lounge, Every Night
Every evening winds down the same way, with needles out, low chat and absolutely no rush. It's the heart of the retreat, the hour where strangers turn into the friends you came all this way for.
We Bring the Camera
Our own photography team comes along on every retreat, quietly capturing the days so you never have to reach for your phone. You go home with beautiful shots of your work, your friends and your trip, ready to keep or share.
