What Our Travelers Say

average rating is 5 out of 5

We visited fascinating places, met talented crafters and textile artists, and were inspired by truly fabulous knitters. Exploring together in such a relaxed, stress-free atmosphere among fellow knitting enthusiasts made the experience even more special.

The personalized attention we all received was remarkable. Alex and William took the time to get to know each of us individually and ensured that we were always having fun. They made sure every comfort was addressed, whether it was dietary needs or activity tolerance. I was amazed at how smoothly everything came together without any stress.

This knitting tour was well-organized and offered a perfect balance between fiber-related activities and sightseeing. There was enough downtime and plenty of time to knit. The accommodations were well-situated, and the food was amazing!

It’s so much fun traveling with people who share similar interests (and their partners!) and the same goals—making beautiful music and exploring amazing sights you’d never experience while rehearsing in your hometown.

Caldas da Rainha brought the week into focus.

A visit to co-host Dorothy Bulac-Eriksen’s studio (@syzygy_designs) filled the room with new techniques, shared questions, bright ideas, and the kind of conversation that happens when knitters gather around something they love.

After days of mills, shepherds, color, texture, and wool in nearly every form, our travelers carried home a deeper understanding of how fiber can spark imagination and possibility.

Thank you to every knitter who joined us for the Portugal Knitting Experience: Wool Works. You brought curiosity, creativity, and so much heart to every step of the journey.

Warm water. Soft wool. A little soap. A lot of laughter. Inside New Hand Lab, our travelers joined Covilhã-born textile artist @anarita_de_arruda for a felting workshop that was playful, tactile, and wonderfully imaginative.

Ana Rita now lives and works in Porto, so having her return to Covilhã to lead this experience felt especially meaningful.

With old factory walls, bright wool, and creativity in every corner, @new.hand.lab was the perfect backdrop for an afternoon full of texture, color, and good company.

Covilhã rewards the curious.

There’s color around every corner: painted walls hum with the memory of mills, and street art turns unfamiliar streets into an open-air gallery. At @new.hand.lab, that same spirit moves through fiber: texture, movement, and imagination creating something new from what has always been here.

For knitters exploring Covilhã for the first time, it feels inspiring in the best way. Follow the color. Notice the texture. Let the city offer a little spark for what your hands might make next.

In the Serra da Estrela, wool begins with land and flock.

The soft tinkling of bells across the hillside. The taste of fresh sheep and goat cheeses, local honey, and warm bread at the table. The steady rhythm of spinning and weaving at EcoLã and Burel Factory, turning fiber into thick blankets, burel coats, and contemporary forms.

Here, wool still feels inseparable from daily life.

Wool Works is about following the story behind the yarn.

When spending time with @rosapomar, @avidaportuguesa, and @rosarios_4, we get a closer look at the traditions, textures, and people reinventing Portuguese wool.

And yes, a little yarn shopping may have happened. For research purposes, naturally.

Filipa Carneiro (@filipa_nionoi) is co-hosting the Portugal Crochet Experience in March 2027!

Based in Lisbon, Filipa is a designer, teacher, and one of the leading voices in Portuguese fiber arts, known for blending heritage techniques with a fresh, modern sensibility.

She teaches Portuguese crochet, a distinctive method where the yarn is tensioned around the neck or a pin, a style shaped by tradition and still practiced today.

Over the years, she’s built a global following through her YouTube channel, where more than 40,000 knitters and crocheters return to her tutorials again and again.

We’re excited to share time with Filipa in Portugal. There’s still room to join!
