Kestrel

Quince & Co's new take on linen to provide a thicker yarn! Searching for heavier weights in plant fibres can turn out to be a very difficult task, this due to the nature of the long smooth fibres of plant material. Of course one can achieve thinckness by twisting multiple strands together, but this solution gives yarns that barely hold together and will split as soon as you touch it.

With Kestrel, Quince & Co took the same Belgium-grown organic linen that they use in the lighter Sparrow and spun it in a ribbon structure resulting in a heavy Worsted / Aran weight that will knit up in no time! Kestrel's flat surface adds a slight beautiful texture to simple knit and purl stitches, but the best thing about it is its incredible drape. Like all things linen, woven or knitted, Kestrel only gets better as you wash and wear it.
