Now through Sunday, August 8th, Quince & Co. will donate 10% of Lark sales directly to Knit the Rainbow, to further support their efforts in providing for homeless LGBTQ+ youth in New York City and, eventually, nationwide.

Play with color when you cast on the Chromata scarf and cowl! Both projects are worked flat in soothing garter stitch, in one or as many colors as you like. The cowl is seamed to form a continuous loop—ideal for wrapping twice for extra warmth or worn open when you need to cool down. The scarf has been cleverly designed to make its own fringe as you knit, meaning there are no ends to weave in. Knitters of all skill levels will enjoy knitting these designs, as instructions are provided to let you knit either project at any gauge. We love to knit it especially with our all-American wool Lark, a soft and ultra-cozy worsted weight yarn.

Give Back with Your Craft

Quince & Co is proud to partner with non-profit Knit the Rainbow (KtR) to provide their volunteers with these two free knitting patterns. KtR aims to educate people across the country about the housing crisis LGBTQ+ youth are facing and increase the number of youth served by having volunteers donate their hand-knit and crochet garments, to be distributed in New York City. If you are interested in getting involved with KtR, we recommend visiting their Volunteer Resources page.
