Various Designers Forage

When we think of fall, our minds immediately go to the yarns that started it all: our core wools. In the second half of 2010, we launched Quince & Co with four wool yarns in four different weights and 37 colors, followed by a fifth the following fall; now in 2018 we carry a whopping 65 colors in our wool line, including 6 heathered shades. This year, we wanted to focus on what we love about each one of our core wools, and offer designs that illustrate these concepts.

Spring and Summer are seasons of renewal, growth, and transformation—as evidenced by the vibrant colors that pop up in the landscape, the fresh produce we harvest from our gardens, and the days we finally allow ourselves to unplug and reconnect with our creativity. As the seasons shift from one to the other, what’s on our needles follows suit as well. Warmer weather calls for lighter-weight yarns, flowy tops, and oh-so-airy wraps, to name a few.

This pattern is available for FREE with any purchase of Stone Wool Border Leicester . Alice is a squishy-soft, generously sized crescent shawl, knitted in yarn spun from Border Leicester, a lustrous, soft and silky fiber. Worked mostly in humble garter stitch, it makes a buoyant, inviting shawl for wrapping up in. The border’s lace pattern requires working the pattern on every row, not just right-side rows. But take heart: There aren’t so many stitches in the border panel and the knitting steps are predictable.
