Introducing
Nancy's line of
Digit Fingering Weight Yarn Vest Kits
We have packaged 19 skeins of our great Digit yarn together with our book entitled "From Swatch to Blocking - An adventure in Fair Isle Knitting". This is a manual on techniques and color planning for Fair Isle knitting. It includes a great vest pattern in 8 finished chest sizes from 37" to 51".

Best of all, we have done the work for you by selecting all of the yarn colors based on the swatches below. These swatches are named after Nancy's students. In fact, her students created the swatches as part of her Fair Isle Knitting Class. If you like the color combinations  of a particular swatch, then simply order that kit by name and we will ship you 19 skeins of our Digit Re-Dun yarn together with our pattern and Fair Isle manual. It could not be easier! The photo to the right is the "Robin."

Another great feature of our Vest Kits is one you will really appreciate - the cost! For just $98.50 you receive 19 ounces of Re-Dun yarn and our book. That equates to $4.50 per skein plus our $12.99 book/pattern! 

You can also create your own Kit by selecting your own colors and using our "From Swatch to Blocking" pattern and manual to design this vest. You can use our book entitled "How to Select Color Palettes for Knitting and other Fiber Arts" and color wheel to assist you in selecting your colors. Go to our Books and Patterns page to read more about this great book. Nancy's students used a color wheel and the principles contained in her book to create the colorways below. The system that she has developed is easy and it really works.
