What are Quail Essentials?
Essential. Of great importance, or utmost necessity. Or even the essence of the individual; real or very nature of a thing. Designs that capture the imagination, create possibilities from many characteristics and qualities, while becoming the definition of indispensable.
Hand-knit design collections filled with stylish and classic pieces that work in harmony with one another, each one as beautiful and elegant as the next. Quail Essential collections make putting together a full season of outfits, or series of key pieces for wardrobe capsules, a breeze.
Quail has created Essential collections by season, by style, by yarn and even by age – such as the Essential Toddlers book or single patterns, designed by Quail Studio designers. Essential pieces for a well-dressed little one using Rowan Yarns Summerlite DK, Summerlite 4ply and Handknit Cotton. Essential Baby Knits includes socks, blankets, jackets, sweaters, and hats which are knitted in Rowan Yarns popular Baby Cashsoft Merino yarn.
Essential Winter and Essential Outerwear each contain a series of cosy, layering pieces that can be styled in a variety of ways, so they mix and match for countless options during the cooler months. Made in some of Rowan Yarns most inviting yarns; Brushed Fleece, Big Wool, Kidsilk Haze combined with Felted Tweed, and Alpaca Classic are just a few.
Sweaters and Cardigans feature in their own collections. Eight sweaters with timeless designs and clever details, while 10 cardigans have been designed for an appealing collection of wearable designs, emphasising simple shapes. Both collections are worked in a mindful colour palette of Rowan’s core yarns, including Handknit Cotton, Creative Linen, Pure Wool Superwash Worsted, and more.
Whether you want to create a complete wardrobe, or simply add texture by yarn type, (Essential DK Knits), or colour (Essential Brights or Essential Pastels), style (Classic Essential Knits or Classic Tweed Style), or by function ( Accessories Essential Knits or Wrap Your Style) there is an Essential hand-knit designs book for everything you could ever need.

Until next time,
Team Quail
