FILOPLUME

What is it about a beautifully constructed cable that’s so enticing? Is it the complex texture? The joy of creating the braid? The sophisticated finished look? Whatever it is, we are wholeheartedly embracing cables in Emily Greene’s charming hat pattern, Filoplume. Crafted in Quince & Co’s new Wren yarn for stitch definition, softness, and the wonderful tweedy effect unique to the yarn’s blend of organic cotton and wool, Filoplume is satisfying to knit and delightful to wear!
