Unwind is an all-inclusive weekend retreat with about 50 participants. All classes are 3 hours long and are held on Saturday and Sunday. Each instructor will teach 3 classes and have one free period so they have
an opportunity to relax or explore the area. There is ample opportunity to network with other instructors and mingle with participants. We offer a fair compensation package that includes compensation for mileage for travel, a private room during the event, and meals. If you've been teaching at your LYS and are ready to teach further afield, we like to offer opportunities to new instructors.

Our KAL starts soon!

The 2022 KAL is the South Beach Cowl. This pretty accessory is a free pattern from Nancy Marchant, designed to show off a gradient yarn. We'll be casting on July 1, so you have time to buy your yarn and knit a swatch in the meantime.

If you took a brioche class at Unwind, this accessory is the perfect opportunity to practice what you learned.

There's a discussion thread on our Ravelry page so we can compare notes and cheer each other along - please join us! We're looking forward to seeing all the completed cowls at Unwind 2023!

WRAL in Raleigh did a piece recently on regular Unwind attendee Lee Rankin and her farm, Apple Hill Farm. You may have toured her farm on one of the Unwind field trips.
Check the story out below!

Much of our lives have gone virtual these days. Such is the case with farm life, too. Scott Mason takes us to a llama and alpaca farm high in the mountains of Watauga County.
