About

Gathering Yarns is about connecting through our stories, and ​the shared experience of creating something unique in a world ​of mass production.


Our sewing retreats are borne out of the joy of sewing, a love ​of fabrics and the delight experienced in giving handmade ​garments as gifts.


Bring your own project and sew whatever takes your fancy.


You don’t need to be an expert seamstress, but a basic level of ​sewing knowledge is required.
