Immerse yourself in natures colors and learn to knit the way others paint. Find some fellow knitters or crocheters and schedule a workshop in the heart of Latvia. 3 is the minimum for a workshop, this is a listing for one person.

I am a 2 hour drive from Rīga, so if you arrive around 10:00-11:00 by dinnertime you may have knit a colorful sauna hat, or wrist warmers that can be easily felted in your washing machine at home. (40c, 1200 rev). Most wrist warmers can be knit in 5-7 hours, so plan on staying a full day.

We will start with a short hike through the meadow and forest collecting color ideas. In my studio I have shelves of Pāce wool yarn for your color experiments. Pāce wool is spun from Latvian and Estonian sheep. It is washed with spring fed pond water instead of chemicals so there are still bits of meadow chaff in it. After spinning it is dyed as naturally as possible with mineral dyes. After knitting it needs to be washed to get the lanolin out and a washing machine will easily felt your beautiful creation.

This listing is for one person. 

Yarn is included in the price.

Lunch is included for one day workshops.If you plan to stay more than a day you can arrange a room and meals at Vanagkalns rdombrovskis@gmail.com
