This tour was fantastic! With everything I saw and learned about there was still enough downtime for me to absorb and regroup. I definitely recommend this tour!

I greatly appreciated the tour guides—they even assisted those of us continuing on a side trip after Portugal. They put together a fantastic trip! I can’t wait to return to Portugal.

The variety of places we dined was a great way of being introduced to locations in the cities as well as traditional foods.

It felt like family. Everyone was so warm, welcoming and wanted to be a part of the experience. New friends made. Can’t wait to do this again.

What's Going On

Our Italy Handbell Experience is underway in Lucca! 🔔 🇮🇹

We’ve been posting a little less than usual because we’ve been busy living the experience: rehearsing, exploring, sharing meals, wandering medieval streets, and soaking in the sights, sounds, and soul of Tuscany.

Lucca is our home for the week, and it’s giving us the perfect setting for music, connection, and discovery. Between handbell practice and time spent exploring the region, this group is finding harmony both in rehearsal and out in the world.

Here’s a glimpse of how it’s going so far: a little ringing, a little wandering, and a lot of joy.

We’re returning to Italy in June, so naturally we’ve been daydreaming about our favorite parts of traveling there.

The photos are beautiful, but the most memorable moments are often the long meals, familiar places, and good company.

Which traveling yarn lover are you? Tell us in the comments!

🗺️ 1. The Yarn Shop Cartographer
You have determined that a 22-minute walk for local yarn is basically next door.

🧳 2. The Project-Bag Strategist
You believe “just one project” is a lovely idea for other people.

☕ 3. The Social Stitcher
You bring the kind of project that can survive laughter, lunch, and someone asking what you’re making halfway through a row.

🧶 4. The "Local Wool" Loyalist
You don't need the wool to have a dramatic origin story, but you certainly wouldn't mind if it did.

🍷 5. The Skein Sommelier
You believe local wool and local wine both deserve careful study, preferably over dinner.

Most of us are probably a little of each: curious, prepared, easily tempted by local wool, and always happy to bring home just one more skein.

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.
