In praise of yarn
I first stumbled upon Quince and Co a couple of months ago and was immediately smitten with their beautiful pattern selection.
The yarns sounded exciting too and I cannot tell you how much I love the fact that they use the same colour palette across the entire yarn range. I don't know why more yarn companies don't do this and I have no idea why it makes me so happy, but it does.
Quince and Co is the baby of knitwear designers Pam Allen (former Interweave Knits editor) and Carrie Bostick Hope alongside historic mill rescuer Bob Rice. I fine pedigree indeed.
After several months of cyber stalking I could bear it no longer and placed an order. This is glorious Lark in Peacock. It is all that I hoped: soft, squishy, gorgeous saturated colour. It came wrapped in a brown paper bag and the enclosed compliments card had a handwritten note of thanks. Perfect in every way.
And in case you don't want to pay Royal Mail's rather irksome £8 handling fee (although even with that added on this yarn still works out at a very fair price compared to something like Rowan) the good news is that I have been reliably informed that Loop will be stocking Quince and Co yarn in the not too distant future.

Mine was all purchased in America, so will be very interested to see how prices compare between Loop and mail order on this side...

The colour blue reminds me of the fine weather that I'm missing in England at the moment. My husband just called me to say that he is enjoying a G&T in the garden!
