Sparrow is a plain little yarn,
beautiful in its simplicity. Its clean, smooth hand is crisp as you
knit it. But after washing and wearing it becomes handkerchief-soft
and drapey. It’s spun in Italy from organic linen grown in Belgium.
Knit Sparrow on a variety of needle sizes—try needles from
size 2.75 to 4mm (US 2 to 6) —depending on the drape and feel
you want in your project. The yarn is a natural in lace patterns,
carving out the yarn overs, but it’s fluid, too, in simple
stockinette. It’s great in tanks, shawls, and breezy cardigans, and
lovely as can be in bags, wash cloths, and other home accessories.
