For our kits we are using Kestrel from Quince and Co. Kestrel is a Belgium-grown organic linen is sent to Italy where it is spun into a ribbon structure. Its flat surface adds a slight texture to simple knit and purl stitches. But we think 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.
Each kit contains enough yarn to complete the chosen size. You can download the pattern HERE!
