Join Us for a Cosy Crafting Experience at our new venue Eeverflyht Vineyard- a single estate vineyard producing sparkling wine in the heart of the South Downs
In this engaging arm knitting workshop where you'll learn how to create your own cosy chunky-knit blanket. In just one session, you'll master the basics of arm knitting whilst crafting a beautiful home accessory that's both practical and stylish.
Of course as we are at the Everflyht Vineyard enjoy the delights of a glass of Everflyht sparkling wine.
Perfect for complete beginners and experienced knitters alike, this hands-on activity is a wonderfully accessible way to discover a new craft technique. Your expert instructor Paula will guide you through each step, ensuring you feel confident and supported throughout the creative process.
You'll be working with supremely soft, vegan-friendly extreme chunky yarn that's a joy to handle. One of the most satisfying aspects of arm knitting is how quickly your project takes shape – you'll be amazed at how rapidly your blanket grows before your eyes.
We offer two blanket sizes - medium 2kg or small 1kg.
The medium finished piece measures approximately 95cm x 1.30cm, creating an ideal throw for cosying up on chilly evenings or adding a contemporary design element to your bedroom or living space. A small blanket is approximately 70cm x 100cm, so more of a lap blanket to keep you cosy.
You can personalise your creation by choosing either a single colour or opting for a striking two-tone striped design.
This rewarding workshop will leave you with not only a gorgeous handmade blanket but also the knowledge and confidence to continue exploring the craft of arm knitting at home.
Please select your colour choice(s) when booking.
Colours (subject to availability): Peacock Green, Mint, Light Teal, Sky Blue, Midnight Blue, Lilac, Pink, Light Silver, Pearl, Cream, Red & Mustard. Please see the colour palette in the photos above.
Limited Edition Colours (subject to availability): Palest Rose, Burgundy, Silver Dream, Waves 2 & New Unicorn

Important information: Please finalise your colour selection(s) at least 5 days before the workshop date to ensure we can secure your preferred yarn from our supplier.
"Such a brilliant workshop! My daughter-in-law and I created lovely blankets under the patience and guidance of Paula. We were not the quickest to understand at the beginning but once we got the hang of it we motored along and had great fun. Thank you Paula for your kind and gentle support. We would highly recommend the workshop especially at Pitfield Barn, such a fantastic location and on arrival a warm welcome from the owner. " Tracey G.

Paula fell in love with all things artistic at a young age, whilst helping her multi-talented artist mother in her Covent Garden studio in the 1970s. Growing up in an environment buzzing with creativity, Paula went on to study a specialist Knitwear Degree at Middlesex.
After finishing university, Paula enjoyed a long & successful career working in fashion as a knitwear designer at a senior level with many of the UK's leading businesses.
Paula decided to follow her long held dream of running her own business & Cocoon&me was born. From the very start, the aim has been to create a brand of beautiful things for like-minded people whilst respecting the people & planet that we all rely upon.
Over the last few years, Cocoon&me have been exploring the therapeutic benefits of crafting, developing our fun, small group workshops teaching maker's skills, & creating our range of textile kits & patterns, giving the opportunity for you & your friends to make your very own bespoke & beautiful pieces.
We also offer private workshops & corporate events.
