This kit is for the Kenchurch mosaic waistcoat and contains a pattern and the yarn required to knit the waistcoat.

No needles or buttons are included. This is not for a finished waistcoat but for the kit to knit it yourself.

It is knitted with double knit weight yarn using a slip stitch pattern. It does not use the Mosaic knitting technique. 

The yarn used is a a set of Allium Threads Forest yarns which are Grey Exmoor Blueface and Romney wools and blends spun by John Arbon (233 m / 254 yards per 100g). Four shades are used, a total of 400g for size one and 500g for size two.

 

The kit comes in two sizes, Chest 32 to 38 inches (81 to 95 cm), and Chest 40 to 46 inches (101 to 116 cm). The pattern includes all sizes, the actual sizes are:

Size 32 inches (81 cm) Actual size 34 inches (85 cm)

It would make a great gift for the knitter in your life or for yourself.

I have tried to capture the colour of the yarn as accurately as possible. Please bear in mind that monitors vary and colours can be perceived differently.

Due to the nature of hand dyeing, the colours in each skein may be slightly different and no two skeins will be identical. As with any hand dyed wool, if using more than one skein then alternating skeins on every couple of rows will help to balance any slight differences.

I have rinsed the yarn until it runs clear. However, some dye may remain.
I recommend you soak your finished item in a gentle/pH neutral soap. Natural dyes can change or fade slightly as they age. Hang to dry away from direct sunlight and store in a dark place.
