The Keris Vest is a pretty Fairisle sleeveless sweater, knit with Marie Wallin's British Breeds yarn. Keris is such a lovely design from Marie Wallin's book, Cumbria. The motifs on Keris are inspired by carpet and ornamental folk designs of Eastern Europe and the Middle East.  

Construction:  This sleeveless sweater is knit flat due to the differing repeating pattern sections.  It can be knitted in the round with the introduction of steek stitches where the side seams and armholes would be. 

This Kit Includes:

  • All the British Breeds yarn called for in the pattern for the size you select (20-36x 25g balls) 
  • A large The Woolly Thistle black & white project tote
  • Digital Download of Pattern*
  • Qualifies for FREE SHIPPING in the US!!!

Size 1: 32" - 34"
Size 2: 36" - 46"

Selecting the correct amount of ease is very personal. Please choose a size based on your own preferences. As always, it is important to manage gauge to ensure you will have enough yarn.  If you are worried you can purchase an extra skein of the main color! 

*Please note this product contains a digital download that is not able to be returned or refunded. 

Corinne has a lovely interview in The Woolly Thistle ShopCast with Marie Wallin where they discuss the Cumbria collection.

Please remember that every effort is taken to represent the true colors of the yarn and that monitor settings will vary.

Pattern and yarn are both lovely! But, beware of too much yarn in kit!

Why the reason for low stars? Because after it was all done, the "kit" was sold to me with an entirely untouched, unused 9 skeins of yarn. That's not trivial. I even lengthened my vest by a few inches. I did not deviate from suggested colors in the least. Here are the extra skeins:

1 extra, totally unused skein of Dark Apple
3 extra, totally unused skeins of Blossom
1 extra, totally unused skein of Quince
1 extra, totally unused skein of Walnut
1 extra, totally unused skein of Thistle
1 extra, totally unused skein of Mallard
1 extra, totally unused skein of Silver Birch

Love the yarn. Love the finished product. TWT staff were great in helping to separate a pdf pattern that was the original sent by the designer, but very oddly formatted (thereby preventing ability to print). But, TWT definitely came to the rescue on that.

But, really, save yourself almost $100 if you are buying size 2 and just buy the yarn separately. Yarn budgets are important, and trust is important, and both were kind of blown on this purchase of the "kit."

Thanks for your feedback about the Keris kit. We pride ourselves on putting together kits with enough yarn to complete a project, but not so much that you have loads of leftovers. We assemble all our Marie Wallin kits based on the number of balls that are called for in the pattern. We'll continue to be in touch with you about why you have so much left over after completing your sweater, but want you to know that lots of left-overs isn't our standard. We never want a customer to run out of yarn for a project, but also not to over-sell.
