Off the needles 🙌🧶 My Shruff’s End is finished… almost. A great travel knit—now it just needs blocking, a little shaping, and buttons. Hoping to coax out a bit more room and open up those cables 😅🧶 uplandfiberco.com

Sneaking in a few rows in Edinburgh 🧶☕️ Between exploring with @exploreknittingtours, Kate and I have been finding cozy café moments to knit. Shruff’s End is nearly done, and Norma is well underway. Such an incredible trip—heading home tomorrow. uplandfiberco.com

WIP Thursday 🧶 Kate cast on the Norma Sweater by @myfavouritethings.knitwear in Polypaca (Ash + Bone) with a pop of COR Worsted in Mariner. Same weight + 3-ply construction means these two bases mix seamlessly—structure + softness in one fabric. This one’s going to be stunning. ✨ uplandfiberco.com

Snow day knitting hits different. ❄️🧶 My Shruff’s End by Thea Colman is flying — just a couple more inches before separating for fronts and back. Loving this cable texture in Polypaca (Peat & Graphite). Soft, structured, and moving fast. 🧶 uplandfiberco.com

WIP Wednesday 🧶 Shruff’s End by @theacolman is officially underway. I’m knitting mine in our new Polypaca in Peat + Graphite and I’m loving how the texture is popping. The Polypay/Alpaca blend really shines here. Deep V, no sleeves — this one’s going to fly. uplandfiberco.com

It’s almost here… Our brand new American-made yarn is arriving fresh from the mill this week. I’ve been loving knitting with it—soft, springy, and beautifully squishy in a Worsted weight. Debuting Sunday at NE Farm & Fiber, then online soon… 🧶 uplandfiberco.com

A promotional graphic for Upland Fiber Co. featuring two knit sweaters worn by models outdoors. On the left, a person wears a blue sweater with multicolored yoke-style colorwork. On the right, a person wears a light gray textured sweater. Centered below them is a circular orange-and-cream logo reading “Rhinebeck Sweaters for Good – Local – Hudson Valley Textile Project,” with a sweater icon in the middle. The background shows a green pasture with sheep grazing. At the bottom, text reads: “Every sweater tells a story.”
Sweaters for Good is an invitation to slow down, knit with intention, and look a little closer at where our yarns come from. Every skein supports farms, mills, and skills that matter. What do you want your sweater to say? 🧶 bit.ly/3NiKQaF
WIP Wednesday ✨ First sleeve is officially done on my Book Club Cardigan! Just sleeve two, the button band, and pocket linings left. Slow going with all this texture, but COR Worsted is a joy to knit. 🤎🧶 uplandfiberco.com #UplandFiberCo
