Snow day knitting hits different. โ„๏ธ๐Ÿงถ My Shruffโ€™s End by Thea Colman is flying โ€” just a couple more inches before separating for fronts and back. Loving this cable texture in Polypaca (Peat & Graphite). Soft, structured, and moving fast. ๐Ÿงถ uplandfiberco.com

Polypaca + COR Worsted were made to work together. ๐Ÿงถ Same 3-ply, semi-worsted construction. Same 220 yds / 100g. Different fibers, same soft + structured balance. Use them interchangeably in one projectโ€”undyed neutrals meet rich color. Mix & match. uplandfiberco.com

Three photos of a textured cardigan-style vest in progress. The knit fabric features a rich, repeating textured stitch pattern in a heathered earthy brown framed by a contrasting charcoal edging. The fabric is laid flat on a light surface, with the texture and color contrast between the brown body and dark edging clearly visible.

WIP Wednesday ๐Ÿงถ Shruffโ€™s End by @theacolman is officially underway. Iโ€™m knitting mine in our new Polypaca in Peat + Graphite and Iโ€™m loving how the texture is popping. The Polypay/Alpaca blend really shines here. Deep V, no sleeves โ€” this oneโ€™s going to fly. uplandfiberco.com

The swatch is for a lovely cardigan-style vest called Shruffโ€™s End by Thea Colman. Iโ€™ll definitely be casting it on once I have our new inventory in hand.

Itโ€™s almost hereโ€ฆ Our brand new American-made yarn is arriving fresh from the mill this week. Iโ€™ve been loving knitting with itโ€”soft, springy, and beautifully squishy in a Worsted weight. Debuting Sunday at NE Farm & Fiber, then online soonโ€ฆ ๐Ÿงถ uplandfiberco.com

A series of outdoor winter photos showing a handknit oatmeal-colored half-fishermanโ€™s rib shawl worn and styled in different ways. Close-ups highlight the thick, textured fabric and pointed ends, while wider shots show the shawl wrapped around the neck and held open to display its full shape against a snowy woodland background.

Kateโ€™s Daisy Hat is off the needles ๐ŸŒผ A quick-knit DK weight project with lots of room to play with color. Knit in MerHair, itโ€™s light, lofty, and cozy with just a hint of halo that softens the colorwork beautifully. ๐Ÿงถ uplandfiberco.com

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? ๐Ÿงถ bit.ly/3NiKQaF
