At the TNNA trade show this summer I had the pleasure of seeing some of the newest yarns from Willow Yarns. They were all lovely, but Quiver was my favorite! Willow Yarns was kind enough to send me a couple skeins to try out and review for you. PLUS – they have given me a coupon code to share with you, you’ll find it at the end of this post.

Quiver is a roving-style yarn with a slight twist. It has a mixed fiber content (63% wool/25% rayon from bamboo/12% acrylic) which creates a variation in the color as the some fibers accept the dye more than others. This creates a two-tone color in the twist of the yarn that I always find very appealing.

Not only is Quiver very pleasing to the eye, it’s also quite lovely to the touch. It’s soft and easy on the hands when crocheting or knitting. Quiver blocks very nicely. I blocked the test piece I made with it in some lukewarm water and Fibre Rinse and let it dry flat. It did not shrink or grow, and blocked very nicely. It even ended up softer than it started!

In addition to the variation in the yarn color due to the fiber content, Quiver also has a slight variegation throughout the skein. The overall effect is a wonderful tonal variation that is sure to bring another layer to your crochet or knit project.

Keep in mind that as a roving-style yarn, it is easy to split when working in tight stitches, which is why I used a larger hook (US-I/9, 5.50mm) when working with it.

I created a pattern with two colors of Willow Quiver to share with you on Thursday. It’s one I’ve had in my mind for a few years now. I’m pretty happy with how it came out. Would you like a sneak peek?
