We love the loose and easy fit, the wide scoop neck, and diagonal eyelet hem and cuff detail on this pullover. With the swingy drape that Kestrel lends to this piece,  destined to be the thing you always reach for as you're headed out to enjoy a summer day.

Yarn

 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.
