This is the sample I wove for display at Bella's Flock in 2024. It is woven by me on a Zoom Loom with Malabrigo Rios yarn. I was exploring textured weaves at the time, so most squares are unique.
This vest can be worn with the collar turned up or down and with or without a shawl pin. It is designed to be short in the back to reduce wear from sitting, and flowy in the front.
The sizing is one-size-fits-most ... I wear XL and the last couple of photos show me wearing the same size in two different yarns that are staying in my own closet.
Rios is 100% superwash merino wool, dyed by a women's cooperative in Uruguay, considered Malabrigo's workhorse worsted weight yarn; the four ply nature helps resist pilling and the washability makes it fantastic for frequently worn garments.
