Experience the beauty of true craftsmanship with this one-of-a-kind handmade vest,
lovingly created by Yvonne Stowell of Mark of the Hand Studio in Crystal City,
Manitoba.
This stunning piece is a true labour of love. Yvonne used natural dyes made from
berries to create the unique and beautiful blend of colours found throughout the yarn.
She then carefully spun the yarn by hand and expertly knitted this exceptional vest,
creating a wearable work of art that cannot be duplicated.
Made from a luxurious blend of 60% wool, 30% silk, and 10% angora, this vest offers
warmth, softness, and elegance. Perfect for someone approximately 5’6″ and taller, it
is a versatile piece that can be enjoyed for everyday wear or dressed up for a special
occasion.
A rare combination of artistry, patience, and natural beauty, this handmade vest is a
treasure created with passion and love.
