ARTISAN AMERICAN YARNS
ARTISAN

INCLUSIVE
A gay-owned yarn company supporting a diverse community of fiber artists.
COR
Our first yarn base is the result of a search for balance and a dedication to supporting a local, small-chain fiber economy. A perfect middle ground between Rustic and Refined; Soft and Strong; Delicate and Hard-wearing, COR is a 3-ply semi-worsted spun yarn made with a 50/50 blend of American Cormo and American Corriedale which comes in both a Worsted and a Fingering Weight.
COR Fingering
Light and springy, COR Fingering is perfect for intricate stitchwork, drapey shawls, and weightless, heirloom-quality garments.
COR Worsted
Plump, cozy, and full of character—COR Worsted offers a lofty hand and effortless stitch definition, ideal for sweaters, hats, and cold-weather accessories.
MerHair
Our second yarn base continues our commitment to local sourcing and thoughtful blending, bringing together luster, softness, and strength in a uniquely American way. MerHair is a 2-ply DK weight yarn spun from a 70/30 blend of American Merino and American Mohair. Smooth and slightly airy, light yet warm, it offers a gentle halo while still allowing textured stitches to shine more clearly than you might expect from a mohair blend—perfect for cozy garments and dimensional knits alike.
MerHair DK
Soft and buoyant, MerHair DK offers remarkable drape and a gentle halo—ideal for elegant sweaters, flowing fabric, and cozy layers.
Let customers speak for us
Merhair is next level spectacular!! The softness. The lustre. The stitch definition. The fiber composition. I LOVE everything about it! Absolutely gorgeous.
So soft and shiny! It’s so easy to work with and glides on the needles. I love it, and MerHair is now my go to DK weight.
It was great to meet you at Fiber Frolic and hear about your company. I have been raving about your yarn to my knitting acquaintances. Thank you.

Cor worsted yarns are beautiful to work with. The colors are gorgeous as well. I knitted the Sophie shawl out of the Pewter and it's just lovely. Thank you, Upland. Fiber company.
Color was represented perfectly online! Will order from Upland again!
The perfect color green I was searching for and the texture and feel of this yarn is amazing. So wonderful to knit with and the stitch definition is incredible.
I bought this as a gift... The recipient loved it and the color!
I fell in love with knitting and to top it all off I found this incredible yarn. It's hard to describe what this feels like but it's very nice to the touch and Knits up fabulously. I made the Sophie Shawl with it and just ordered two more skeins. Michael, owner is excellent; he's helped me and answered many questions. This is a small business and I hope that he's able to get additional colors in stock as I plan to buy more. I'll try the lighter version next!
