🎉 Get Ready to Cast On! Introducing the Dye Hard Yarns Autumn Harvest Knit-Along 🎉

Knit the stunning Mita Pullover Vest by Sylvia Watts-Cherry with us this season!

.


Calling all knitters who love beautiful colorwork, cozy layers, and a sense of community!

We are so excited to announce our next shop Knit-Along (KAL), and we’ve chosen a project that is equal parts rewarding and gorgeous: the Mita Pullover Vest by the talented Sylvia Watts-Cherry.

This isn't just a KAL; it's a guided journey to create a modern heirloom you'll be proud to wear for years to come!

The Perfect Pattern: Mita Pullover Vest

The Mita Vest features a stunning, organic colorwork design that looks complex but is perfectly achievable for knitters who have tried colorwork before, or even adventurous beginners ready to level up! The vest is versatile, stylish, and the perfect layering piece for crisp autumn days.

The Perfect Yarn: Urth Harvest DK

We’ve selected the exceptional Urth Harvest DK for this KAL for a reason. This 100% superwash wool is a colorwork dream!

· Stitch Definition: Harvest's crisp stitch definition make every motif in the Mita pattern pop!
· Durable & Warm: This high quality, hand dyed yarn is spun with soft superwash Extrafine Merino wool, perfect for an easy to care for vest.
· Eco-Conscious Colors: Each skein of Harvest DK is hand-dyed by Turkish Artisans using natural roots, fruits & nuts. Each richly dyed colorway is named after the organic item used to dye the yarn. You’ll love the array of beautiful colors inspired by the world around us.
