What Our Travelers Say

average rating is 5 out of 5

We began the journey as fifteen strangers from different corners of the world. Just ten days later, we parted as friends — many of us already making plans to reunite for another adventure.

The Portugal knitting tour was fantastic. The fiber activities were carefully curated by Alex and William, and we took classes, heard lectures, toured facilities, and met directly with textile owners to learn from them. The shopping, dining, and sightseeing experiences were all amazing. The knowledge of the hosts and their great planning was apparent every day. These are not activities you could put together on your own, and I really appreciated all of them. The wine, weaving, and cork factory tours, the farm visit, the hands-on learning, and the planetarium visit were so fun. The shopping guidance was great too.

Hard to choose my favorite location—I enjoyed each area but would have loved more time in Lisbon! I especially enjoyed all the workshops and the exposure to rug making, the mill, and the farm. The evening spent at the observatory was something I will never forget. The attention to detail in planning this tour was evident—thank you so much!

Even though we were tag along members of the choir, we enjoyed the experiences a great deal - I would highly recommend the tour for choir members as well as non-singing companions.

What's Going On

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!

The kind of details you don’t plan for, but end up taking photos of anyway. Little things that catch your eye and stick with you later, without really trying.

Here's some of the textures, colors and details we saw in Italy.

From Biella to Verona to Treviso, from raw fiber to finished form—we experienced style in the making.

Time exploring, taking everything in.
Time knitting, ideas coming together.
Time sharing, easy and unhurried.

Being part of the process and seeing it up close changes how you experience it—whether it’s natural dyes building through ombre yarn, feeling and working the fibers into felt, or fabric emerging on a fully automated jacquard loom. Each part offers its own kind of inspiration and shows the care behind it.

If it’s been on your mind, consider this your sign to follow the thread.

Oh—and the alpacas are waiting for you.
