Fiber Retreat

2012 Winter Fiber Fun Retreat | February 16-19, 2012


Each year in February, FancyFibers sponsors a Winter Fiber Fun retreat getaway in north Texas that is open to anyone who enjoys any sort of fiber-related craft.  Spinners, knitters, crocheters, felters, dyers, and weavers, with needles, hooks,  jars of colored magic, and looms come together to relax, revitalize and play!

This year we are THRILLED to have Alissa Barton, the Knitting Fairy, join us as a workshop instructor and co-sponsor of the Retreat!

Alissa is well known in and outside of Texas for her beautiful patterns and her fun and engaging teaching style. Her knowledge about knitting is extensive, and we are pleased that she’ll be joining us!

For 2012, we are also thrilled to be able to offer our annual retreat at the brand new Tally Retreat Center located at Camp Copass in Denton, Texas.

This state-of-the-art facility will allow us to expand our class offerings and welcome new people while still relaxing and rejuvenating in a beautiful wooded setting.

We are also pleased to be able to add an additional day to the Retreat.  The 2012 Retreat will begin on Thursday night and offer 3-1/2 full days of fun classes and activities!

In addition to visiting with old friends, making new ones, relaxing, and practicing your favorite fiber craft, there are several optional activities that you can choose to participate in (or not).  Examples of activities we have offered in the past include dyeing roving and yarn, paper making, knitting socks and hats, making jewelry, felting, and blending fiber on a drum carder.  The activities are different each year, but always a lot of fun!

** If you would like to be a teacher or activity leader at the 2012 Retreat, please complete the Workshop Proposal Form!

Vendors are also a part of the Retreat, offering the discriminating fiber artist a dazzling array of beautiful fibers, yarn, and fiber craft accessories.

We hope that YOU will join us at the next Winter Fiber Fun Retreat.  To ensure that you receive registration information, sign up for the Fancy Fibers newsletter here. Registration is scheduled to open on June 1st.  Space is limited.

    Mary, I am having one heck of a time trying to figure out how to find the class schedule for the retreat next month. Can you put a link to it somewhere on this page, maybe? I would like to get it into my smartphone so I won’t miss any of the great classes I am signed up for!
