Work With Pru

Pru Raymond is a knitting designer, teacher and writer based in Adelaide, South Australia. She has collaborated with a range of businesses within and beyond the yarn craft industry in Australia, New Zealand and USA to host classes and events and publish patterns, books and articles. Pru is known for her positive, collaborative approach, her education and marketing expertise, and her mastery of a wide range of knitting techniques including Fair Isle, Mosaic, Lace, Sock Knitting and Steeking.

Here are three ways you can work with Pru:

  1. Invite Pru to teach a stackable knitting retreat or knitting workshop at your yarn store- start by downloading a flyer
  2. Collaborate with Pru on a knitting pattern, book, or kit
  3. Become a stockist of The Yarn Store Passport or once of Pru’s other publications 

Workshops and Stackable Knitting Retreats

Workshops and Stackable Knitting Retreats at yarn stores around Australia are Pru’s core business. As a qualified teacher with almost 20 years experience, Pru is well known for her high quality knitting workshops, which have sold out all over Australia and USA.

Pru teaches at retreats and yarn festivals, but developed the Stackable Knitting Retreat concept in 2022 in response to the gap in the market for local yarn store owners wanting to host engaging, creative experiences for their community.

Pru collaborates with local yarn stores to develop a weekend of workshops and a social event to be hosted in store, in order to activate the shop space, engage existing and new customers, and generate sales.

Stackable Knitting Retreats are a much less significant investment than organising trips and retreats to luxurious locations, for both yarn stores and knitters. The concept has proven to generate revenue, increase engagement in person and online, and has led to repeat custom and word of mouth recommendations. 

If you are interested in discussing how Pru can work with you to plan a Stackable Knitting Retreat at your store, download a flyer or email Pru to request her current Workshop Menu.
