Who this retreat is for

This retreat is designed for knitters who care about the origins of their yarn.
In particular, it suits those who value textile heritage, supply-chain transparency, and meaningful encounters.

Rather than mass tourism or luxury wellness, this experience focuses on craft, people, and place.
It is ideal for knitters who enjoy learning, sharing, and slowing down.

Why Nepal, why Nomadnoos

Nepal is not a backdrop — it is the heart of Nomadnoos.
For this reason, this retreat offers rare access to fibres, hands, and traditions that often remain invisible.

By joining, you directly support small-scale artisans.
At the same time, you deepen your own understanding of textile origins while creating with your hands.
