Amanda
Amanda is a classic vest with practical pockets and a polished
finish down to the last detail. Perfect for layering over a sweater or shirt, it’s a versatile piece for any closet. Two yarns — a fingering-weight wool and a lace-weight silk mohair — held together create a rich, textured fabric.
