DETAILS
I love hand dyed yarn but can find different pooling patterns distracting for a garment. For example, the sleeves can have a thicker striping/pooling section while the body has thinner lines or zigzags and so on… It is because of this irregular pooling can sometimes detract from the beauty of the colors and the garment itself. For that reason, in this design, I am making all fabric widths consistent so the self-striping or pooling or zig zags would be consistent too for a more uniform fabric throughout.
This vest is meant to have -2 to +2” or -5 to +5 cm of ease for easy layering.
