It's a Quince & Co. Sparrow Show!
For the next two weeks, Argyle Yarn Shop will be hosting a trunk show on loan to us from Portland, Maine-based yarn maker Quince & Co. The featured yarn is Sparrow, Quince's fingering weight, 100% organically grown linen yarn.
A trunk show is when a yarn maker lets us borrow some finished knitted samples to display, so guests can see what the yarns look and feel like in person, and get inspiration from the beautiful designs.
Let's see what lovely tops have come out of the trunk this time:

Let's see what lovely tops have come out of the trunk this time:
Below is Aila, designed by Isabell Kraemer, a pretty tank top with open diamond lace details at the hip. A simple A-line shape makes easy work of this top-down summer piece, knitted in Sparrow linen.
Amalia’s graceful hem is the centerpiece of this delightfully simple shell, worked in Quince's linen Sparrow. Cleverly joined garter-stitch panels on the front and back create a graceful flutter at the bottom edge. Subtle garter stitch trims at neck and armholes complete the simplified beauty of this piece, designed by Pam Allen.
Modern and graphic, Dianna Walla’s Zara Tee boasts boxy elements in shape and color details, with a slim sleeve to balance it off.
Worked flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed, the applied crochet chain technique used for the contrasting color makes simple work of the widely spaced vertical stripes.

Melissa LaBarre’s Pippa tank is a study in feminine simplicity.
Featuring a sweet lace back detail just below the neckline, Pippa sports an easy A-line shape and is knitted in the round from the bottom up, in Quince's Sparrow linen.

And, in the classic Lida shawl by Bristol Ivy, simple cables and yarn over eyelets create a compelling lace pattern perfect for warm weather.
