The Minas designs are a playful celebration of color, featuring an engaging 1x1 stranded colorwork pattern that captivates us with its rhythmic hues and constant shifts.

Knit top down in our IDEAL yarn (100% Uruguayan Polwarth wool: bred, spun, and hand-dyed by our artisans), this vest brings the same modern, relaxed silhouette as the Minas Sweater, now in a vibrant new palette: Zinnia, Leo, Celadon, Peach Blossom, and Tahiti.
