Spring Naturals - Knitted Vest Top with naturally dyed contrast trimsA truly unique relaxed fit vest top. A classic round neck tank top, knit to order in a natural sheep shade with contrasting rib trims in spring shades of naturally dyed yellows and orange reds. Knitted by me in rural Lincolnshire on my vintage hand powered knitting machine in a beautiful soft but 'sheepy', worsted spun 100% British wool. Depending on the dye plants available at the time there maybe a difference in the shades of the contrast ribs so

with a beautiful crimp that makes it naturally springy
