The leadership at Quince has a pattern of problematic behavior when it comes to people who they’ve worked with.The issues regarding Quince that have arisen both publicly and privately are a major problem. At the very least genuine apologies have not been made, specifically to those they’ve harmed.

We as a company have made the decision not to work with Quince in any capacity. Last Fall we removed Quince as a stockist, sponsor, and yarn support, however there are many projects out there that have been designed using Quince yarn. We thought it would be helpful to provide a list of substitute yarns for those hoping to find alternatives.
