    MAILE YARN KITS USING OUR FABULOUS HAND-DYED EXCELANA NORTH DK WEIGHT, 100% BRITISH WOOL ARE NOW AVAILABLE. CHOOSE WHETHER YOU REQUIRE YARN ONLY OR THE YARN PLUS PDF PATTERN OPTION.

    A simple knit, the Maile vest knits up quickly and is both an enjoyable knit for seasoned knitters and also a great pattern for beginners.

    The vest is knitted in flat pieces from the bottom up, and then sewn together before contrasting striped bands are added.

    Maile is knitted using Susan Crawford Excelana North Lightweight DK and is shown here in two colourways;

    Colourway One is worn by Charlie and uses Trefusis a deep teal green as the main colour with contrasting shades of Limestone and Red Granite used for the contrast stripes.

    Colourway Two worn by Denis is knitted using Cornflower a pleasing mid-blue as the main colour with constrasting stripes of Snowdrop and Saharan Sand used for the contrast stripes,

    Choose from one of the two colourways shown or alternatively choose the 'custom' option to select a shade of your choice from the beautiful range of colours in Excelana North DK.
