Camp Yarn Habit Retreat 2027

Camp Yarn Habit is heading back to the lake for another unforgettable weekend of knitting, laughter, creativity, and summer camp nostalgia. Join us May 7–9, 2027 at beautiful Moonlight Bay on Wabamun Lake, Alberta for a cozy fibre retreat designed for knitters, makers, and yarn lovers alike.

We are incredibly excited to welcome Sarah Schira of Imagined Landscapes as our Saturday instructor. Sarah is known around the world for her whimsical gnome patterns, each one full of personality, storytelling, and adventure. Her beloved mystery knit-alongs and imaginative designs keep knitters coming back time and time again.

Sarah will be with us all weekend, but Saturday will feature two special classes led by her:

  • Morning Class: A beginner-friendly introduction to gnome knitting. Perfect if you’ve been wanting to dive into the world of gnomes — and even experienced gnome knitters will find inspiration learning from the creator herself.
  • Afternoon Class: A more advanced class for those looking to build on their skills and techniques. If you’re a newer knitter, don’t be afraid to sit in and learn something new — sometimes the best way to grow is to jump in and try.

Camp Yarn Habit takes place at a rustic summer camp style facility with cozy cabins tucked near the lake. The dining hall and wash house (bathrooms and showers) are separate buildings, something important to keep in mind when registering. Full accommodation details will be included on the registration forms.

Your retreat registration includes:

  • Accommodations
  • Meals
  • Instruction
  • A welcome gift
  • An exclusive Camp Yarn Habit t-shirt to collect with each retreat you attend

Registration opens Friday, July 3rd at 12:00 PM Mountain Time. At that time, a registration link with full retreat details will be added to this blog post.

Spaces will be available on a first come, first served basis. Both shared cabins and a limited number of single cabins will be available. Once your registration is received and your spot is confirmed, an invoice will be sent to the email provided. Payment of the invoice will be required immediately, as we anticipate spots filling very quickly.

Pack your knitting, your camp spirit, and your favourite cozy sweater — we cannot wait to spend the weekend with you at Camp Yarn Habit.
