Bloom Vest is knitted by holding 4 strands of yarn together at once, in three different yarns. This creates a gorgeously thick and warm garment, and allows for really clever colour effects. Of the three yarns one is used throughout, for this we’re suggesting Cheviot Marsh 4ply, the other two being Yeavering Bell 4ply. As you knit upwards from the hem you vary the proportion of the other two yarns, which then leads to a wonderful gradient of colour which Camilla calls a dip dye effect and it’s incredibly effective. Embroidered bubbles are made with leftover and scarp yarn a perfect and fun way to use up those little leftovers, the pattern is made so you can place the bubbles as you like, and even add some later on, or leave them out for a more simple look.
