elebrations are always in order for the return of wool season! For all our
adoration of the variety (and comfort) of warmer-weather fibers keeping our needles occupied throughout the spring and summer, always, always, do we keep at least an internal eye towards fall and winter knitting plans. We’ve sung the many virtues of wool throughout the years, but it will never get old—it’s wool we look forward to, and wool we return to, gladly, at the turn of the season. This year, our design focus was a return to classic silhouettes, simple colors and vintage textures, all with the intention of allowing the properties of our beloved wool their own space to breathe, their own spotlight in which to shine, a song in praise of the coming season. We hope you love these newest knitting patterns—each one of them made with, and for, the love of wool. Knit ever onward. Leila creative director, Quince & Co 4
