Unicorn Wood Vest – Project Kit
This simple yet elegant vest was designed by Katie Waller and is knitted flat in two pieces from the bottom up, or if you prefer to knit in the round it can easily be adjusted.
It has a folded up 2×2 rib along the bottom of the vest and a delicate set of laces holes along the top of the rib and around the neck, adding detail and elevating this simple vest. Available in 5 difference sizes from XS to XL, depending on the chosen sizing using 2-3 skeins
The limited edition 4-ply yarn is a delightful blend of Bowmont 70% and Zwartbles 30% that we have sourced from local farms. The full original collection was hand dyed by Tanya Niccolls of Boscastle Yarn. The colour chosen for the sample vest was unicorn wood (no longer available). Why not try the Cookworthy Knapp natural shade in our Nearly Home Trees 4-ply – Blacker Yarns range.
Your Nearly Home Shawl kit will contain the pattern and 2/3 (size dependent) x 100g skeins of Cookworthy Knapp yarn, all beautifully wrapped and presented in one of our recyclable cardboard boxes.
If you would like to substitute the Nearly Home Trees yarn for another of our 4-ply wools please let us know.
