Various core wool 2018

What do you love most about fall? As knitters, we love this season for a variety of reasons—including, of course, our continued love for all things wool. When knitwear designer Pam Allen launched Quince & Co. back in the fall of 2010, she did so with four wool yarns in four different weights and 37 colors, followed by a fifth the following fall; fast forward to 2022, and we carry over 60 colors in our core wool collection, spanning across five yarn lines. This year, we re-visit our beloved yarns that started it all, in a collection that sparks both curiosity and comfort.

Our annual woolly celebration is here! This season’s collection was dreamt up by designers Emily Greene , Lana Jois , Hanna Maciejewska , Paulina Popiolek , Melanie Rice , and Jill Thompson Beach . Featuring seven patterns in our five core wool yarns, we’re pleased to share designs that show off bold and beautiful sculptural details, highly textured fabrics, cozy cables, uniquely mesmerizing patterns, and the oh-so-soft, undeniably woolly characteristics of each yarn used. A new pattern from Core Wool 2021 will be revealed each day, starting the first week of November.

The history of the dust jacket can be traced back to the mid-19th century as a means to shield books from dust and wear. As the 19th century progressed, publishers began to recognize the potential of the outer book cover as a promotional tool. For two more centuries, the dust jacket would continue to evolve and remains one of the most collectible assets of a book. The Dust Jacket Kit pays homage to its humble beginnings. The jacket body is worked in our sweet Chickadee using the linen stitch. The piece can be customized to fit your most treasured literary masterpiece.
