Friday, 11/6 (4pm) - Monday, 11/9 2026 (10am)
15 spots
Join me for a long weekend of knitting, saunas, and hearty home cooked food in Lutsen, MN.
November on the North Shore means tawny cattails, striking skies, and wild wave. It's liminal time when the pace of life slows down and we settle back into ourselves.
At this kitting retreat, Dorothy Broomall will hold the same warm, welcoming space you’ve come to know over the years at Dappled Fern…it’s just you don’t have to go home!
We'll stay at Ski Hill Cabins and Saunas, in Lutsen, MN. These Nordic modern cabins offer spacious living rooms where we cozy up to knit, full kitchens, two full bathrooms, fire circle, and private saunas. Accommodations include main-floor single room (California king bed), main floor bunk room (queen above queen bunk beds), and shared loft (two full beds in loft accessible by ships ladder).
Our gentle itinerary will give you plenty of time to knit, connect, and hibernate.
What we'll knit:
Whatever you want! I find this is the best way to welcome all levels of knitters and enjoy the inspiration of all the amazing things people make. As it gets closer, I'll share featured patterns to consider if you'd like to knit along with me this fall!
What you get:
3 nights at Ski Hill Cabins (one more than last year!)
Gentle itinerary

Field trip to Dappled Fern Yarn Shop in Grand Marais, MN

Early bird registration at any future November Knit Camps!
