Join us on our Yarn Spa (trust me, dressing gowns and facial masks are not required) - £39 gets you the following...

Arrive at the welcoming Sitwell Arms Hotel for 11am where you'll be greeted by Liz. Once everyone is in and settled we'll have coffee and pastries (of course, other drinks are available). A sumptuous afternoon tea will be served around 2:30pm, with plenty of time to sit and enjoy before we finish up at 5pm. For those of you who attended one of our Yarn Retreats in 2024 you'll know how good the tea is...

Of course there will be a pop-up yarn dyer, this month we have the lovely Emma (and Ian probably) from All Wool That Ends Wool joining us, bringing her rich and vibrant colours

19 September 2025 - 21 September 2025

Have you ever visited the shop and wanted to stay longer? Did you attend the NNH Yarn Retreats in 2024 and you need another one? Have you just wondered what all the fuss is about, or wanted your own amazing goody bag? Then come and join us for the next Nibbles, Needles and Hooks Yarn Retreat, between Friday 19th and Sunday 21st September.

Arrive Friday 19th September from 3pm where you’ll be greeted by Liz bearing a goody bag full of treats. We’ll settle in the house for the evening, heading over to the main building for a 3 course dinner (chosen from the menu) served in the dining room. When it’s time for bed everyone has their own room, with no single person supplement. There is lift access available to the 1st floor if that’s where your room is situated.
After a cooked breakfast on Saturday morning we have the day to craft together. We have the separate house, with access to a large decked area if the weather is kind. If you fancy a break (or your fingers need a rest) you can stroll around the gardens, or go slightly further along the Trans-Pennine Trail which passes the hotel. There’ll be tea and coffee on hand, with a proper stop for a 2 course lunch (again, from the menu). We’ll break again for another 3 course dinner, and can then relax in the bar, or stay in the house yarning.
Throughout the day there will be a pop-up yarn shop from a (definitely not) local hand-dyer. This time we're joined by Shannon from Blue Fern Yarns in Norfolk.
Sunday starts with another cooked breakfast, then more crafting before Afternoon Tea is served around noon. From there we’ll say our goodbyes, but don’t forget, Nibbles, Needles and Hooks is only a 20 minute drive away, and we’re open until 4.30pm on Sundays.

£620 payable in 3 installments:
Deposit - £100 PLEASE NOTE : ALL DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE
First Installment - £260 (payable by 26th July latest)
Second Installment - £260 (payable by 23rd August latest)
