Quince & Co Ellis Tank Project

Ellis is a hybrid of Pam Allen's Saco Stripes and Togue Pond tanks in Kestrel , this re-imagined piece includes a hi-lo hem shaped with short rows and narrow stripes. Tank is worked in the round from the bottom up to the underarms. Front and back yokes are worked flat.

Yarn

Quince & Co Kestrel is a new take on a simple linen yarn. Quince and Co. took the same Belgium-grown organic linen that they use in their little Sparrow and spun it this time in a ribbon structure (actually its a 'chainette' - a small knitted tube). 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 it.
