round p 6 mm (60 cm) and

Knit strength

Patent knit lends itself well to washing. Therefore, it is important to wash the knitting sample before measuring. Measure any 20 cm to get the correct knitting strength.

Yarn

Peruvian Highland Wool from Filcolana is used for the vest's base color - 100% wool, (50 g / 100 m).

Tilia from Filcolana is used on top of the base color - 70% super kid mohair,

30% mulberry silk (25 g / 210 m).

4 mohair colors are used that fade into each other. The vest is knitted with double mohair, each in a different color, near the bottom and second top strip, where it is the same color mohair on the two threads.
