It’s finally here!
At Quince & Co., we are thrilled to introduce you to our latest labor of love – a yarn that’s been over three years in the making. Allow us to formally introduce Wren!
Wren is equal parts rugged and elegant. A soft and nubby blend of wool and organic cotton fiber, it’s an ideal choice for a wide variety of projects, combining the strength and versatility of wool with the airy softness of cotton. Springy and plush, it knits up between 4.75 and 5 stitches per inch and is a two-ply DK weight, perfect for layering pieces in all seasons.
Because wool and cotton take dye differently, Wren’s woolen-spun blend of 60% American wool and 40% Texas organic cotton produces the yarn’s stunning tweed-like effect. Unlike industrially-farmed cotton, Wren’s refined upland cotton is 100% organic, sourced from a coop of family farmers in Texas committed to growing cotton in a way that dramatically reduces environmental impact. With its cozy softness and tweedy texture, this luxurious workhorse yarn will quickly become the go-to skein in your crafting basket. Wren is our next chapter in providing high-quality yarns that are wonderful to use, sustainably sourced and organically farmed.
To celebrate, we are proud to announce the release of three brand new patterns featuring Wren, designed by our own Emily Greene! In these patterns, we’ve highlighted the best of what Wren can offer – versatility, beautiful tweed-like colors, and effortless wearability. Whether you’re craving lace, cables, or good old stockinette, we have a pattern for you!
