mYak Knitting Retreat in Italy with Isabell Kraemer | Dolomites 2026

A summer retreat in the Italian Dolomites? Sign me up!

The location of our summer retreat could only be the stunning Dolomites mountains, in the small village where Paola grew up and still calls home.

Year by year, this retreat is becoming one of the favorite places for our community of knitters to be at: the mountains, the vibrant flowers, and the refreshing breeze create a profound sense of relaxation.

For this retreat, we are thrilled to welcome back the one and only Isabell Kraemer (third retreat together). What makes working with Isabell truly special is her capability to consistently teach something different, always showcasing the evolution of her creativity.

Location: Cavalese - Dolomites | ITALY

From Jun 16 to Jun 20

mYak Retreat in Italy | Monferrato Region | September 22– 26, 2025

For our fall retreat, we have selected one of Northern Europe’s most beloved designers, Natasja Hornby (Moonstruck Knits)

Our retreat will take place in the Monferrato area, where you will experience the delightful fusion of Ligurian influences paired with the rich flavors of Piedmont.  The location is so special that it lends its name to the renowned wine, Gavi di Gavi.

We will take part in the traditional Vendemmia, one of the most cherished activities that brings Italian families together. Along with this, we will visit a local cellar and enjoy a wine tasting experience. Due to the strong Ligurian culinary influence in the area, we will also learn how to make the perfect focaccia. We will have the opportunity to knead the focaccia dough and discover all the secrets of bread making.

Natasja will teach two amazing workshops that we can’t wait to reveal.  

From Sep 22 to Sep 26
