WOW! My mom & I went to this retreat not knowing much about wool or any fibers at all. Wow has that changed! In our group there were folks who had their own flocks of sheep and alpaca, Chris would give specific information relating to their animals while still managing to not go over my head. Everyone on staff was incredibly generous with their time and their resources. We walked away with an entire garbage bag of art supplies AND a full belly- I think I'm still full after two days! On our way home, we were planning who would we would bring with us for the next retreat. ❤️ Chris, Teresa, & their team deserve all the success that comes their way.

I had a wonderful time! The Nome schoolhouse is amazing along with the people there! A great place for a retreat and classes. This was the second time I was as Nome and look forward to my next visit. The knitting classes with Cori were amazing! A beautiful woman inside and out filled with so much knowledge and an excellent way of teaching. She was always watching each participant to see if they had questions or were having issues completing the stitches. Before you knew it, she was standing beside you with a gentle hint that solved the problem. After teaching for 30 years, I noticed her natural love of her work and her natural way of passing on that information. I look forward to having the opportunity to take more classes from her.

Overall the knitting retreat experience was wonderful. Cori did an excellent job educating the class on a multiple number of new techniques including Latvian braid, beaded hat, 50 shades of sweaters fit/flatter and tips/tricks for more efficient knitting. The group stayed engaged throughout the class time. I would recommend Cori's classes to anyone who wants to learn more in-depth knitting skills. I enjoyed meeting the Nome Schoolhouse staff. Rhonda took great care of our group. The shop was filled with lots of great gift items. I spent more than I thought I would!
