Summary

CROCHET CURTAINS IN BRETON STYLE
When a self-crocheted curtain adorns the window, it becomes an eye-catcher!

Come to us and crochet your own Breton-style curtain!
Discover the traditional patterns from the Breton islands (Groix, Sein, Ouessant, Belle-Île...)
Fanfan will give you tips and suggestions on how to crochet your own curtains and teach you the various decorative elements you can use to add a Celtic touch to your curtains!
To make your own crocheted curtains, you mainly need cotton crochet thread, which can be very fine, and a suitable crochet hook. We provide you with yarn, needle, instructions and pattern templates.

The crochet workshops can be booked all year round and are run by the experienced and sociable Fanfan (Françoise Thomas) in a warm and friendly atmosphere*, because Fanfan loves to share the secrets of Breton crochet!

You will meet under the parasol in the garden or at Fanfan's (a few minutes' drive from your accommodation) over a hot cup.

*Fanfan adapts to your wishes! The times are flexible, either in the morning or in the afternoon.

Tip! Measure your windows!
