The focus of the Sparrow 2018 collection is on our soft marls—colors twisted together with undyed Sans to create the subtlest textured tones.

The delicate, spring-like linen shades were right at home in the lacy lines of Michele Wang’s Donovan and Buckley.

Leah Thibault and Bristol Ivy envisioned two distinctly different, equally engaging shawls. My Bolan tee budded forth from

wanting to capture an etching-like feel in the

openwork motif from using marled linen.

Lace and stockinette stitches alike allow the quiet nature of these pretty marls to sing. We hope you enjoy this group of fine-gauge, warm-weather knits.
