So we’ve got a rare week of sunshine here in Ireland and it feels good!
Its making me want to knit all the summer yarns. Right up on the top of that list is linen. Linen is a fantastic fiber to wear in the summer and best of all it just improves with use.
The most recent design I did with Linen was Nouri for pom-pom quarterly. (Print & digital version here). This uses Quince & Co Kestrel which is a heavy worsted organic linen that is spun using a ribbon structure.
If you want to knit a version of Nouri for yourself I’ve got a great giveaway courtesy of Quince & Co! They will give a sweater quantity of Kestrel to the winner of the giveaway.
In the comments below just let me know what color of Kestrel (there are 17!) that you will knit your version in. Only comments on my blog will go into the raffle. I will draw a prize on the morning of the 10th of June (Irish time).
Note: If you live outside of the US you will only have to pay shipping costs, yarn costs are free.
So many lovely colors to pick from makes for a difficult choice, but I think I would love this sweater in Aegean.
Byzantium is the color I would choose!
I like all the colours, they are gorgeous!! I think I prefer ‘sand’
I love porpoise – it would make spectacular summer knitting as I watch dolphins frolic from my porch ? ?
So many beautiful colours to choose from, but I think byzantium is the winner. Sand coming in a close second! Your pattern is beautiful. Thanks for the opportunity to win this pretty yarn!
I would definitely choose Minos! I was fawning over this yarn the other day in a yarn store called Tolt in Washington. Absolutely gorgeous and that pattern looks like it would be a fun first garment for me!
I would knit it Wave because that color blue makes me so happy.
Stunning design as always!! It would have to be pebble colourway
Byzantium is beautiful! Love this sweater!
This sweater is in my queue, thanks for the chance to win the yarn for it!
A hard choice, but Numbr one is Byzantium. Such a lovely purple.
Antler!
Cove would be my choice :)
Pebble is beautiful!
What a timeless design. I’ve just started knitting with linen and am obsessed! I would love to knit one in Cove.
Mischievous urchin, of course!! What a fun summery pattern.
Byzantium! Definitely! Thank you for a lovely giveaway!
I think that minos would be my top choice, with senza coming in as a close second. Lovely design!
While the sample in Pebble is gorgeous. I think I would knit mine in Porpoise to give it a slightly lighter feel that would play really nicely with some dark denim. Great pattern!
It would be wave – for sure!!!! It’s just the perfect pastel to keep me feeling cool and still late-30s age-appropriate.
Totally zoned in on yarrow….but all are gorgeous
I picked up Pompom Quarterly as soon as it arrives at my LYS. I am really excited to knit this sweater. I would knit it in Ebb Tide!
I would knit this beauty in ash.
Wonderful design! Would love to make this in the Aegean colorway!
For me it is a toss up between bysantium and rose hip. Love love love linen.
Oh my what a lovely summer sweater. I’m torn between Byzantium or Anemone but if pushed to choose I’d probably go for Byzantium
There are so many great colours! I can’t decide whether I like porpoise or Urchin better :)
Your pattern is lovely, thanks for the great giveaway!
All the colours are beautiful, but if I had to choose one, I would go for porpoise. I think this colourway shows off the stunning design of the yarn so well.
This sweater is so beautiful! I would like to knit it in Turtle.
Hard Choice! I think “ebb Tide” is my Favoriten
I think this would look gorgeous knit in the Urchin colorway!
As it is beach weather, I would pick the colour ‘sand’
I would love to make a Nouri in Ebb Tide! What a gorgeous summer tunic!
Ooh, I’d probably use Aegean or Anemone
Urchin is the color that speaks to me. So many tempting hues, but Urchin pulls me in every time I look at it.
What a fantastic giveaway! I would knit my version in Aegean – a lovely colour that evokes summer seasides. Thanks Quince & Co and Carol!
I would love to have Nouri in my wardrobe! So many gorgeous colors to choose, but I would knit it in Antler.
I would knit it in anemone or rose hip for a bright Caribbean feel.
Beautiful colors!!! I finally narrowed it down to the Aegean colorway.
I’ve been soooo wanting to try Kestrel and Nouri is the perfect way to do so! My color choice would be urchin.
I love Yarrow! What a gorgeous pattern, it would be beautiful and fun to wear in the sunny yellow! Laura
Ebb Tide would be my choice. Beautiful design, Carol.
My eye goes straight to Aegean so that is the color I would choose.
I prefer Ebb Tide!
All the colors are gorgeous, but Cove is so beachy. :)
All nice colours! I would choose yarrow.
Love all the colors, so to pick I would have to flip a coin between Urchin or Byzantium! Urchin :-)
So hard to choose! I think I’d go with Ebb Tide.
I love the Pebble … definitely my colour choice
Love your designs, Carol! I would choose the color “anemone.”
