We'll be able to spend a whole day together with some truly and relaxing knitting time, visiting our studio, meeting the goats and enjoying some gorgeous food.
Our idea is to share with you both our work and space and we already thought of some lovely knitting treats to prepare for you, that is why we decided to gather a group of not more than 15 people.
Here are a few details:
When?
Saturday June 7 - Please note that Subscriptions are open until May 30 unless sold out before
Saturday September 20 - Please note that Subscriptions are open until Sept. 12 unless sold out before
Where?
At Azienda Agricola Le Moire in Merana, South Piemont
How long will it take?
We'll welcome you around 10,00 am and greet farewell around 6,00 pm
What are we going to do all day?
We'll start our day together with a nice walk in the surrounding countryside, to reach the pastures where some of the casahmere goats are settled, and meet them.
When the time comes we'll have a delightful lunch on the terrace, with some delicious local dishes and refreshments.
Refilled with energies we'll dive into our studio to see where our beauties are prepared, to have a look and a touch, or more than one perhaps - We'll prepare a selection of all our yarns for the occasion and subscribers will have the possibility to ask for specific shades in advance!
With our knitting bags full of promises, we'll head to the pastures next to the farm and spend our afternoon knitting in peace among the cute goats, sipping tea and relaxing.

We recommend that all yarn is washed by hand. This ensures it’ll be beautiful for as long as possible and will wear well. When you’ve finished your project, dunk it in a sink of lukewarm water – with a no rinse wool wash if that takes your fancy, leave it to saturate for a while, then roll it up in a towel to squeeze out excess water and pin out flat to dry.
As with all textiles and all yarn, sometimes colour can come out. It can be caused by a difference in the water ph used to wash the item, detergents, or an over-saturation of dye that hasn’t quite finished rinsing out.
All of our hand dyed yarn is rinsed by hand in the sink, and each batch is soaked, then individual skeins are rinsed to make sure no colour bleeds. This isn’t foolproof though, and occasionally skeins in darker colours can bleed a little. In case it happens simply put your yarn or finished item in a pan (that you won’t use for food), add water and a generous glug or vinegar or citric acid, and then slowly bring up to heat. It should be simmering but not boiling. Then turn the heat off, put a lid on the pan, and leave it – ideally overnight. You should find that the water is now clear, and all that remains is to rinse your yarn. If the water isn’t quite clear, rinse it anyway – much like with hair dye, there can be excess dye which needs to run off.
