Details
- Fingering Weight: 390 yards / 100 grams
- 3-ply, semi-worsted spun
- 50% American Cormo and 50% American Corriedale

- Farmed in New York and Pennsylvania
- Scoured at Clean Fleece, Mechanicville NY

COR is mixed with 5% dark Cormo fleece, giving the undyed base (Flock) its characteristic subtle gray undertone, and adding a unique depth of color to the dyed skeins.
Gauge
- Gauge: approximately 6.25 - 7.5 stitches per inch
- Suggested Needles: US 2 - 4 (2.75 - 3.5mm)
- Suggested Hooks: US C/2 - F/5 (2.75 - 3.75mm)
The tool size is merely a suggestion based on most common use, but you can craft with tools outside of this range depending on the quality of fabric that you are looking for.
Gauge is an approximation. Everyones’ tension, and style differs, so test swatching is key when making fitted garments.
Care
This is a 100% natural fiber, non-superwash yarn. Hand wash only.
Soak in cool water in your favorite wool wash, gently remove excess water, and lay flat to dry.
Color
All efforts have been made to capture and represent true-to-life colors online, but everyones’ perceptions and devices vary. Current phones, tablets and screens with their brightness turned all the way up should give the most consistent representation of color.
Colors have been dyed with color fastness in mind, but there is always a chance of colors running when wet: most commonly with reds and blues. We would suggest using a color catcher or two the first time that you hand wash your finished garment.
Shipping
We aim to get shipments on their way to you as quickly as we can. Your packages should be in the mail within no more than 2-3 business days, and you will receive notification when they have been processed.

Beautiful fiber eith a lucious, deep color! I can't wait to use this yarn!
Rich deep hues. Soft, easy to knit. Doesn't split.
Will choose this yarn for future projects.
I have heard lots of nice comments on YouTube so I decided to find out for myself. This is lovely and soft yarn. My first item to make is the scarf. If I were to make a sweater,I surely would never want to take it off! I am happy with my purchase.
An absolute pleasure to knit with COR!! It did just what I wanted it to do when blocked and is wearing beautifully! Very pleased!! Thank you Upland Fiber Company!!
Purchased COR fingerings wt at the Adiorondacks wool and crafts festival and used a mohair/silk combo with it to make a new design from the Pacific Northwest. The yarn was easy to work with ND produced a great hat. Thanks Upland Fiber Co for a terrific product!!
This yarn is plush, soft, and a delight to knit. It is also a virtuous yarn with no synthetic fibers. I knit a beautiful top that gets lots of compliments!
This is a wonderful yarn! Two of my favorite breeds combined into one yarn. Did my gauge swatch in cables for a sweater for my son, was wonderful, great cable definition and nice and bouncy!
This is such a beautiful and squishy yarn! I am planning to make a hat for my husband — possibly similar to one I saw in a Needles at the Ready podcast (knit in your COR fingering yarn).
I can’t speak highly enough about this fabulous yarn from Upland Fiber Co.! I’ve worked with it for several projects and each and every time has been a throughly enjoyable knitting experience. Cor is excellent for so many kinds of projects, cushy and soft with an earthy tone and feel, creating a finished fabric that is the perfect blend of springiness and durability. I highly recommend giving it a try!
Incredible yarn, absolute delight to knit with. Excited for my brioche cardigan and hoping to be able to get enough for another sweater.
So soft and springy. Every time I pick it up to knit I dont want to put it down. Absolutely love this yarn
I appreciate the local traceability/sourcing. This yarn lives up to “Rustic and Refined; Soft and Strong.”
