I will highly recommend this trip to my other knitting groups.
It was a pleasure to visit Montana, explore aspects of their fiber industry and learn new knitting techniques. Donna
I cannot recommend this trip enough–it was truly one of the most relaxing vacations I’ve ever taken. Every detail of the trip was thoughtfully curated, from the projects we worked on, to the day trips, and the meals we shared. And while we spent a lot of time as a group, I really appreciated the opportunities to decompress and knit with new fiber friends, explore Bozeman independently, or just take a nap between activities.

Lodging at the Lark
The LARK was the first property owned, designed, and repurposed by a Bozeman-based group whose ethos is to resurrect unused buildings and breathe new life into the downtown spaces they call home. Their properties feature essentialism and high design intent while remaining true to and genuinely inspired by their surroundings.
The space that is now The LARK has a colorful history in the heart of downtown Bozeman. Formerly an Imperial 400 and, before that, a series of auto shops, the lot sat vacant for four years until a local architectural firm saw an opportunity to breathe new life into the run-down and abandoned property.
The LARK was designed to embody the spirit of the local community and to allow you to feel immersed in the vibe of Bozeman, Montana. Custom artwork is installed in each room, created by local artists who want you to be as inspired by this place as they are.
