Make the Most of the Wisconsin Sheep and wool weekend and stay in a place that was made especially for makers!
Stay with us!
For centuries people have gathered to work with their hands and with fiber. Why would now be any different? Coming together to make, to share our stories and our work makes life more enjoyable.
Every year you come to Wisconsin Sheep and wool, this year, skip the boring hotel by yourself, and stay in a place that was made specifically for makers to gather and craft together. You don’t need to already have a group to go with, we have the community built in.
Let us take care of the lodging, the breakfast, and the community. All you have to do is bring yourself.
Instead of just dipping into the festival for a day and driving home with your yarn all alone, come, stay with us, make with us, while we share tips, inspiration, songs and stories. Make a whole weekend out of it. We all need to take a weekend off and have some fun once in a while.
Yarn & Fiber are your happy place, don’t limit yourself, our love for the craft is better when it is shared with people who truly get you.
Stay with us the weekend of Wisconsin Sheep and wool in a home like environment, with cozy, comfortable spaces, and communal crafting built in. you don’t have to worry about coming alone, you’ll have a new flock of fiber friends to share the weekend with.
Inn stitches is close to the festival grounds in the nearby town of Fort Atkinson Wisconsin, just a block from the Rock River. Spend time at the festival and then come and relax with us, we have plenty of room.
You will have your own bed, a giant communal makers space and beautiful gardens that you can sit and knit in.

You’re coming to sheep and wool,
You’ll need somewhere to stay.
Make the most of the weekend.
From the moment you wake up, to when you’re ready to rest. We’ve got you covered.
With a nutritious breakfast included, you don’t have to worry about getting up and getting somewhere for on the go food.
Start the day with intention setting and meditation, getting the body and the mind ready to take in all that there is at the festival.
Venture out with your new friends to the festival grounds, just a 15 minute drive from inn stitches.
When you’re ready to come back for the evening, we will be here, ready to welcome you for stitching circles each night in the lounge.
and on Saturday making around the fire, with smore’s included! A real summer camp vibe.
Just don’t expect us to keep you from starting your run away to a farm and get some sheep fantasies. This is going to a group of people who are REALLY excited about yarn, so if you think about bringing something fluffy home, we’re all going to cheer you on.
We will even have all the tools you need to get started on a new project right then and there. Imagine laughing and swapping stories and knitting tips with your new bestie’s late into the evening.
Come Solo or bring a buddy, either way you are welcome in the circle.
Inn Stitches was made with you in mind, makers who want to create and share their passion for stitching with others.
You don’t have to just come to the festival and go home with your yarn by yourself, that’s boring. you can leave having made new yarnie connections. You can come alone, you don’t have to heard the cats of your friends, just book your bed and send them the link so they can book theirs! Coming alone, but scared you’ll be alone? You could try to meet new people at the festival, but what if all of that was taken care of for you?
When you book now, you won’t have to scramble last minute to find the last mediocre, overpriced hotel room to stay. We will take care of the lodging, the breakfast, and knit night with me built in! Spaces are limited, so book now to secure your space in the circle.
