A vest designed to use up smaller amounts of handspun yarn: roughly a generous scarf’s worth of the main color and maybe a hat or a hat-and-a-half’s worth of a contrasting yarn.

In the sample vest 175 yds of the bulky weight contrast color was used as well as 340 yds of the worsted weight main color.
